D3 and InterNetX Pioneer On-Chain Domains as Original Real-World Assets at Solana Breakpoint 2025

The world of blockchain is buzzing with innovation, and one of the most exciting developments right now is the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). Imagine turning something as everyday as your website domain into a tradeable, on-chain asset— that's the vision D3 is chasing, and they're bringing it front and center at Solana Breakpoint 2025 in Abu Dhabi.

In a recent X post, the D3 team announced their arrival at the conference, teasing a "new era of owning and trading the internet." Teaming up with long-standing domain registrar InterNetX, they're set to showcase how domains can become the original RWAs (OG RWAs) in the Web3 space. If you're not familiar, RWAs refer to tangible or intangible assets—like real estate, art, or in this case, digital domains—brought onto the blockchain for seamless ownership, trading, and fractionalization.

D3, backed by heavyweights like Paradigm and Coinbase Ventures, is leading the charge through their Doma Protocol. This platform aims to tokenize over 370 million internet domains, creating what's being called "DomainFi"—a financial ecosystem built around domain ownership. Picture this: Your .com domain isn't just a URL anymore; it's a programmable asset on Solana's high-speed blockchain, earning yields, enabling smart contracts, or even serving as collateral in DeFi protocols.

Anand Vora, Vice President of Business Development and Partner Ops at D3, echoed the excitement in his follow-up post. "Excited to be heading to @SolanaConf later this week to talk about bringing Domains on chain as OG RWAs and bridging the Web2 Web3 worlds with our partners @InterNetX!" he wrote. If you're attending Breakpoint, Anand's open to chats—drop him a DM to dive deeper.

Why Domains as RWAs Matter in 2025

Domains have been the backbone of the internet since the '80s, but they've largely stayed in the Web2 realm: clunky registrations, limited liquidity, and no real composability. Enter blockchain. By tokenizing domains on Solana—a network known for its blistering transaction speeds and low fees—D3 and InterNetX are unlocking:

  • True Ownership: No more relying on centralized registrars. On-chain domains mean you control your asset via your wallet, resistant to censorship or seizures.
  • Liquidity Boost: Trade fractions of premium domains like stocks, opening up markets for creators, investors, and meme coin enthusiasts alike.
  • Web3 Integration: Use your domain as a key to dApps, NFTs, or even as a gateway for meme token launches. For blockchain practitioners, this is a game-changer for identity and branding in decentralized ecosystems.

Solana Breakpoint, happening right now in Abu Dhabi, is the perfect stage. The event draws thousands of devs, founders, and investors to explore Solana's ecosystem, from DeFi to memes. D3's presence alongside InterNetX—a registrar with decades of experience—signals serious intent to bridge legacy internet infrastructure with cutting-edge crypto tech.

The Bigger Picture for Meme Tokens and Beyond

At Meme Insider, we're all about spotting trends that could supercharge meme tokens and the broader crypto space. Tokenized domains? They could be the ultimate flex for meme communities. Imagine a .sol domain tied to your favorite token, tradable as an RWA with built-in scarcity. This aligns perfectly with Solana's meme-friendly vibe—think $BONK or $WIF, but with real-world utility layered on top.

If you're a blockchain builder looking to level up, keep an eye on Doma Protocol. Their work could redefine how we think about digital real estate, making it as accessible and volatile as the best meme drops.
