Unstoppable's Patents and Web3 domain alliance' (1.Viewing)

The alliance consists of dozens of firms that offer a naming service that makes it easier to use Web3 by taking the long string of alphanumeric characters the make up a wallet address, and converting it to an easy-to-remember handle such as jeffjohnroberts.eth or jeffjohnroberts.crypto. Many in crypto view these Web3 names not just as a convenient tool but as a form of digital identity.

Like other patents, it grants the owner a 20 year monopoly to bar others from using the technology without permission.
