The recent developments in the domain public chain track are worth paying attention to. The DOMA protocol has recently launched, focusing on the world's first blockchain infrastructure that truly complies with DNS standards. This is not just another domain project; the core logic is to directly transfer Web2 domain assets onto the blockchain for operation.

Looking at the numbers, it's quite interesting—the global domain market size reaches $360 billion, a market that has long been monopolized by the traditional ICANN system. DOMA's entry point is to give these real Web2 domains financial attributes, allowing them to be traded, mortgaged, and used in derivative applications. In other words, domains that could originally only be renewed or transferred now have liquidity and capitalization potential.

From the DEPIN track perspective, there are already many projects involving storage and computing resources on the chain, but exploration into tokenizing network infrastructure like domains is still relatively scarce. Whether it can become the next hot spot depends critically on the project's technical stability and market acceptance. But this direction indeed opens up new ideas for bringing traditional internet assets onto the blockchain.

The 360 billion market cap is indeed significant, but we've been talking about bringing domain names on-chain for years. Why does it feel like this time they're serious? Wait, can we really move Web2 domain names directly onto the chain? If it stabilizes, it could truly be the key to opening a new world. Again with DEPIN and infrastructure—can we stop playing with concepts and just see real implementation? Honestly, it's a bet that Doma can break the monopoly. The 360 billion is waiting. If liquidity really gets developed, could there be another wave of hype around related assets?

360 billion market hit, is this really not just hype this time? DOMA's idea is indeed innovative; no one has tried to financialize domain names before. Regarding DNS standard compliance, if it can be achieved, stability shouldn't be an issue. The key is whether there is real demand. Can liquidity empowerment + collateralization make the domain name trading market active? We'll see. DEPIN has a rare pragmatic project; it's not just about hype, which is interesting.

Damn, a $360 billion market directly moving onto the chain? That logic is really genius. Wait, how is the DNS standard guaranteed? Is it truly compatible or just a new standard wrapped in a shell? DOMA really hit the nail on the head this time; domain liquidity is something no one has really done well. Betting on whether this will become a dark horse for DEPIN, should we get on board after checking the technical documentation? The story of bringing Web2 assets onto the chain is old news, but using domain names to cut in is quite interesting—just depends on execution. $360 billion, man. If we can really get a share, it’s a launchpad. But ICANN and those folks won’t give up the market easily; there will definitely be some tricks later. I don’t quite understand the logic of this tokenization; what would be used as collateral for mortgaging domain names? Next hot trend? Let’s see if it’s still alive in half a year. DEPIN has too many pitfalls.

Wait, the 360 billion market is just being targeted like that? Feels like ICANN can't sit still anymore. Bringing Web2 domain names onto the chain is basically about seeking liquidity, but can it really be used? The DNS standard hype is quite intense, but the biggest concern is probably the technical stability. If this really becomes the next hot spot, old domain names might need to be revalued. A new thing has emerged in the DEPIN track—another PPT project, or is there really something substantial?

The $360 billion market remains untouched, and DOMA's approach is indeed innovative. --- Honestly, there are still many opportunities in the DEPIN space, and few dare to try on-chain domain names. --- The DNS standard is tightly restricted; only if DOMA can truly integrate it will it be impressive. --- Domain liquidity? If this can be achieved, on-chain traditional assets won't be just a dream. --- Another project that meets standards, but its technical stability still depends on practical application. --- The $360 billion market has been restricted by ICANN for so long; it's time for someone to shake things up. --- If the mortgage domain function is really effective, it’s worth researching. --- There are indeed many good DEPIN projects, but no one has truly mastered the domain name aspect. --- Meeting DNS standards sounds impressive, but real-world implementation is the true test.

$360 billion cake, is there finally someone willing to take a bite? The idea of on-chain domain names should have been tried long ago, just not sure if DOMA can handle it. Honestly, whether it meets DNS standards is secondary; the key is liquidity. Otherwise, it's just another air project. Wait, will this get directly hammered by ICANN? DEPIN finally has some new ideas, not just storage and computing power cycles. If it really becomes a trend, it has to survive past this year first, haha. Whenever this topic heats up, it's all copies. How long can the first-mover advantage last? Curious if DOMA's gas fees can beat traditional renewal costs...

$360 billion launch window, DOMA has truly hit escape velocity this time Domain liquidity on the chain, this is the true firepower of DEPIN Technical stability determines orbital altitude, let's wait and see

The $360 billion market has been monopolized for so long. Is someone making moves now? Honestly, I'm a bit looking forward to seeing how they dump the market.

Wow, a $360 billion market has been locked up for so long. Now someone wants to break the deadlock? A bit late, brother. --- I'm optimistic about the liquidity of domain name on-chain, just worried it might be another case of loud noise but no action. --- No hype, no blackening. If it can truly break ICANN's monopoly, that would be a revolution. But can it pass the test of technical stability? --- Wait, Web2 domain names directly moved on-chain? How exactly are they doing it? Or is it just another new trick to cut the leeks again? --- $360 billion. As soon as I saw this number, I knew someone would jump in. The question is, how long can they last? --- DEPIN is already so competitive. The domain name track has opened a new door, I like it but I'm cautious about the project team. --- Honestly, this idea is quite fresh, but I have some doubts about the market acceptance.
