DomainFi Explained: How Doma Turns Premium Domains into DeFi Collateral and Yield Assets
How Doma's dual-token architecture enables fractionalization, lending, and yield strategies for traditional internet domains. Covers mechanisms, reconβ¦
Turn any internet domain into a tradeable on-chain asset in four steps.
Connect your wallet at app.doma.xyz, select any .com, .ai, .xyz, or other ICANN-compliant domain, and mint it as a blockchain asset on Doma's OP Stack L2.
Every tokenized domain produces two ERC-20 tokens: a DOT (Domain Ownership Token) representing title, and a DST (Domain Service Token) controlling DNS records.
Trade DOTs 24/7 on DEXs, use them as loan collateral, earn yield in liquidity pools, or fractionalize a premium domain into thousands of micro-tokens.
Because DOTs and DSTs are separate, you can sell ownership while the website and email keep running β or lease DNS control while holding the title.
Unlike ENS, Handshake, or Unstoppable Domains β Doma works with the real internet.
Doma tokenizes traditional internet domains (.com, .ai, .xyz) β not crypto namespaces. Your domain works on the normal web with no special browser extensions.
DOTs = ownership & transfer rights. DSTs = DNS control & nameserver access. Split ownership from DNS control β a first in the domain industry.
Use premium domains as DeFi collateral, earn yield in liquidity pools, or fractionalize a single domain (e.g. software.ai β $SOFTWARE tokens) for fractional trading.
Sell a domain in seconds with no escrow, no brokers, and no 10β20% commission fees. 24/7 trading on the Base Names Marketplace with USDC or ETH.
Doma domains are portable across Ethereum, Base, Solana, Avalanche, and ENS β powered by LayerZero omnichain messaging.
Developers can tap $1M USDC in grants at doma.xyz/forge to build DomainFi applications on top of the Doma Protocol infrastructure.
