Bitcoin.com has partnered with Freename, the world's leading Web3 domain platform, to integrate human-readable domain names into the Bitcoin.com Wallet app. Users can now send and receive cryptocurrencies using simple names like yourname.sat or even yourname.com instead of long, confusing wallet addresses.
Crypto Transactions as Easy as Email
“We believe crypto shouldn’t feel like a cryptic code. It should feel like sending a message or email,” said Corbin Fraser, CEO of Bitcoin.com. “By integrating human-readable domains into our wallet, we’re making self-custody and peer-to-peer payments as intuitive as possible.” Mattia Martone, COO and Co-Founder of Freename, added: “Partnering with Bitcoin.com brings human-readable domains into millions of wallets, helping people turn their digital identity into something they own and use everywhere.”
New Domains Section Inside the Wallet
The Bitcoin.com Wallet has added a dedicated “Domains” section within its Web3 Explorer. Users can browse and register domains through Freename, starting with the .sat top-level domain. Beyond .sat, support extends to .anyname and even traditional .com domains. Once connected, the domain becomes a universal identity across crypto — usable for sending, receiving, and building a Web3 presence.
Why It Matters: Restoring the Peer-to-Peer Spirit
Crypto was meant to be peer-to-peer, but technical friction has always stood in the way. By replacing cryptographic addresses with human-readable names, Bitcoin.com and Freename are helping restore the original spirit of crypto: direct, simple, and personal exchange between people, without intermediaries. This makes Bitcoin.com Wallet one of the first self-custodial wallets to make naming the new standard for transactions — bridging the familiar internet world with the freedom of Web3.
Freename’s Key Advantages
Freename stands out from other crypto domain services with several distinct features: Web2 + Web3 interoperability — as an ICANN-accredited registrar, Freename supports both traditional domain endings (like .com) and Web3 domains in one place; Create and monetize your own TLDs — users can not only grab yourname.sat but also establish their own top-level domain and earn when others register under it; Bridge between familiar and new — traditional domains like .com are tokenized on-chain alongside Web3 domains, allowing an established Web2 presence to work with a crypto identity; Utility beyond wallet addresses — Freename domains can connect to websites, email, or payments, making the domain a true digital identity rather than just a wallet alias. These advantages align perfectly with Bitcoin.com’s mission of making crypto accessible to everyone.
