Fractional Ownership of Names

With , you can enable fractional ownership of highly valuable domain names. This use case allows users to pool liquidity together, acquire premium top-level domains (TLDs), and build a diversified portfolio of domains that can be traded or reserved. Developers can set up decentralized governance using DAOs (e.g., Maker or Aave), where governance tokens are used to decide on domain acquisitions and management.
Fractional ownership makes it easier for groups of users to own costly assets by splitting ownership through a DAO structure. By pooling liquidity and using governance mechanisms, multiple individuals can collectively invest in high-value domains. The DAO can also choose to reserve certain names, holding them back from sale if the group sees long-term potential.
With D3’s Sales API, fractional ownership models can be seamlessly integrated into your DAO framework, allowing domains to be bought, sold, and reserved as a group.
Key API Endpoints:
Search for Premium Domains: Discover high-value domains to add to the DAO’s portfolio.
Purchase Domains as a Group: Use the pooled liquidity to make purchases.
Mint Names: Allows minting of names on primary sale
Create a DAO: Set up a DAO using a protocol like Maker or Aave. Pool liquidity from members and distribute governance tokens that represent each member’s voting power.
Acquire Domains: The DAO can acquire valuable domain names. Decisions about purchases are made collectively through governance token voting.
Hold or Trade Domains: The DAO manages the portfolio, choosing whether to sell domains for profit or hold them for future appreciation.
Distribute Returns: Profits from sold domains are distributed proportionally to the liquidity providers based on their initial investments and governance token holdings.
Democratize Domain Ownership: Allow multiple individuals to invest in premium domains that would be cost prohibitive for one person to acquire.
DAO Governance: The use of governance tokens enables fair decision-making and participation in the management of the domain portfolio.
Diversified Portfolio: Build a diversified portfolio of domains that can be traded or reserved for future gains, ensuring a stable and sustainable model for profit.
provides the perfect infrastructure for enabling fractional ownership models. With robust integration offerings, D3 is the ideal platform to power decentralized domain acquisition and management.
