Freename Partners with Bitcoin.com to launch .sat
Native Resolution for 75 Million Wallets
The friction in cryptocurrency transactions has long been a barrier for many.
Dealing with lengthy, alphanumeric wallet addresses introduces complexity and risk, making the simple act of sending funds a daunting task.
That changes today.
Freename has partnered with Bitcoin.com to bring native Web3 domain resolution directly to over 75 million Bitcoin.com Wallet users. This establishes a new standard for user experience where sending crypto is as easy as sending an email.
The Problem Solved: Why Native Resolution Matters
Crypto adoption has grown, but wallet usability hasn’t kept pace.
Sending digital assets still feels like working with early internet IP addresses, but unfriendly. Users must copy and paste hexadecimal wallet strings, verify each character, and have the lingering anxiety that one mistake of typing the wrong digit could send funds to the wrong destination.
Native Resolution fixes this for 75 million users. Instead of adding another extension or external tool, Freename’s system is now built directly into the Bitcoin.com Wallet. The result is immediate translation between names and wallet addresses, just as your browser turns “example.com” into an IP address.
Users don’t have to install plug-ins or switch interfaces; they simply type a name, and the wallet does the rest. That’s what makes it native: it’s part of the wallet itself, not a separate layer.
Mobile-First: The Freename Advantage
Most existing naming systems still rely on browser extensions or desktop integrations, i.e., the MetaMask + ENS setup. These setups demand add-ons and manual linking.
It works but limits usability, especially for the majority of crypto users who operate primarily on mobile devices.
For Freename, its Resolution API is embedded natively in the Bitcoin.com Wallet. It works instantly on mobile, where most crypto transactions actually happen - no browser extension, no switching apps.
You open your Bitcoin.com Wallet, type something like “Alice.sat”, and the system recognizes it as a valid, resolvable address. Within a second, the payment is ready to send.
Freename’s integration also bridges traditional Web2 domains and Web3 naming, letting users manage everything from familiar extensions like .com to new Web3 identities, all in one place.
Introducing .sat: The New Bitcoin Identity
To mark this integration, Freename and Bitcoin.com are co-launching the .sat TLD, a name inspired by the smallest unit of Bitcoin, the satoshi.
The .sat domain represents a new kind of digital identity: one designed specifically for Bitcoin users; the first step toward making Bitcoin transactions as personal and recognizable as email or social usernames.
Owning a .sat name means your Bitcoin identity is no longer just a random address, and it’s your chosen handle across the Bitcoin ecosystem. Whether you’re sending funds or connecting a decentralized website, your .sat name ties it all together.
Freename’s role as the official TLD provider ensures that these names are fully functional and fully integrated within the Bitcoin.com infrastructure. For 75 million users, .sat marks the beginning of a simpler, more human form of Bitcoin interaction, with support for additional TLDs like .anyname and even .com domains coming next.
See It In Action (The How-To)
Utilizing Web3 domains within the Bitcoin.com Wallet is straightforward.
Instead of an address, simply type the recipient's Web3 domain (e.g., 'abc.sat') into the send field. The wallet instantly resolves it to the correct blockchain address, displaying the resolved address for confirmation before you send.

Freename domains go beyond wallet addresses. They can connect to websites, payments, and even email, making your crypto name part of your full digital identity.
