Introducing .sand: The First SANDchain Native Domain

The Web3 digital identity just gained a major upgrade. Freename and SANDchain are launching .sand, the first SANDchain-native domain extension designed to transform how users interact, transact, and build in decentralized ecosystems.
At a time when Web3 adoption is accelerating, identity remains one of its biggest hurdles. Long, complex wallet addresses limit accessibility and trust. But with the upcoming launch of .sand, users gain a secure, human-readable identity layer that is native to SANDchain, one of the most active blockchain ecosystems.
Why Web3 Identity Needed a Breakthrough
While Web3 has unlocked ownership of digital assets, ownership of digital identity remains fragmented. Competing naming systems exist, yet they rarely connect across chains, forcing users to juggle multiple handles and wallets. This persistent friction keeps mainstream adoption out of reach.
The .sand addresses that head-on. It offers the SANDchain community and the Web3 ecosystem at large a powerful namespace that combines simplicity, security, and interoperability.
The Partnership: Freename x SANDchain
This landmark initiative brings together SANDchain’s massive community and Freename’s pioneering technology in Web3 naming.
- SANDchain provides the ecosystem: a vibrant hub for creators, builders, and gamers with a strong culture of digital ownership.
- Freename provides the infrastructure: as an innovative Web3 domain registrar, Freename has consistently introduced innovations, including bridging Web2 and Web3 ecosystems.
By joining forces, the two aim to make .sand the blueprint for how blockchain-native namespaces can evolve into complete and robust identity solutions.
What Makes .sand Different
The market has long needed a robust identity solution; .sand delivers that, distinguishing itself from other Web3 domains by offering three definitive advantages:
- Native to SANDchain: Integrated directly into the chain, ensuring speed, trust, and seamless utility.
- Enterprise-Grade Credibility: Backed by Freename's decentralized infrastructure, giving businesses and regulators confidence in adopting Web3 naming.
- Utility Beyond Names: Domains that act as multifunctional tools: for secure transactions, authenticated communication, streamlined website access, and digital identity.
Key Utilities of .sand Domains
Ultimately, all the features of .sand translate into concrete value:
- Strong On-Chain Identity: A .sand domain becomes your Web3 name, easy to remember and share across platforms.
- Interoperability Across Web3: Users can consolidate blockchain activity, currently across platforms like Polygon, BSC, and Aurora, into a single namespace.
- Send and Receive Assets: Replace long, complex wallet addresses with a simple, human-readable domain for transactions.
- Custom Web3 Records: Store multiple blockchain addresses in one place, simplifying asset management.
- Attach a PFP: Personalize your identity with a profile picture tied to your .sand domain.
- Decentralized Websites: Build and host websites using Freename’s Web3 DNS system.
- Web3 Email: Communicate securely within the decentralized ecosystem.
- Aftermarket Trading: List, transfer, and resell .sand domains with full ownership rights on the domain aftermarket.
For developers, this means cleaner integration. For creators, it’s about brand consistency. For investors, it’s a new digital asset class.
Freename: Setting the Standards for Web3 Innovation
Freename has consistently pioneered the future of blockchain naming. From its Web3 DNS system to its cross-chain interoperability tools, the company’s focus has been on turning domains into usable, scalable infrastructure.
Freename is building solutions that can stand the test of time, combining regulatory-grade credibility with Web3 innovation. The launch of .sand continues this trajectory, underscoring Freename’s role as the innovator setting standards in the naming space.
The Bigger Picture for SANDchain
SANDchain has grown into a thriving ecosystem for decentralized innovation. Its strong community of gamers, builders, and collectors makes it the perfect partner for a namespace that prioritizes identity and ownership.
With .sand embedded directly on-chain, users gain an identity layer optimized for their ecosystem, creating new opportunities for commerce, creativity, and community growth.
A Landmark Moment in Web3 Identity
Introducing .sand is more than a namespace launch. It represents the evolution of how users will be recognized, transact, and connect in Web3.
By combining Freename’s robust infrastructure with SANDchain’s community power, this launch sets a new benchmark for blockchain-native domains.
Early adopters of .sand will secure their place in SANDchain’s official identity layer and help shape the culture of digital ownership for years to come.
