Dmail has unveiled a system of NFT domain names designed to give users genuine control over their online identity, breaking away from the model of rented usernames on traditional platforms like Gmail, Twitter and Discord. The new feature allows people to own their digital handle outright — turning it into a verified, transferable asset that lives on-chain.
Each Dmail domain, such as daniel.dmail, acts as a single identity layer across the Dmail ecosystem. It functions as a secure inbox linked directly to a user’s wallet or decentralised identifier, while also serving as a public name recognised by partner applications. The domains are issued as NFTs, meaning they can be traded, leased, or delegated just like other blockchain-based assets.
Dmail positions this model as a response to the fragility of Web2 accounts, where access is controlled by centralised corporations. The company argues that true ownership over one’s online identity is becoming essential for privacy, autonomy and continuity, especially as users face account bans, data loss or policy changes beyond their control.
Under Dmail’s approach, the user’s identity is stored on the blockchain, removing the dependency on a single provider. Each name is censorship-resistant, portable across platforms and capable of generating revenue through trading or licensing. According to the team, this structure offers both personal sovereignty and a new form of economic opportunity within the growing digital identity market.
Domain names have long held value — “crypto.com” famously sold for millions — and Dmail is adapting that same principle for Web3. A unique .dmail name can appreciate in value, be used as collateral, or be subdivided into subdomains. Creators and companies can also mint their own verified namespaces, linking directly to blockchain wallets.
For Dmail users, every account begins with a readable NFT domain that replaces long wallet addresses. This serves as the foundation for an emerging on-chain communication system, where messages, transactions and identity all connect through one recognisable name.
The company says that in the future, Dmail NFT domains will work seamlessly with naming standards such as ENS, .bnb and .sol, helping to unify Web3’s fragmented identity systems.
Dmail frames the launch as the start of a shift from vanity usernames to verifiable identities. Owning a name becomes a statement of digital independence — an asset that is private, portable and under the control of the user, not the platform.
