The alliance aims to secure the .cspr Top-Level Domain (TLD) during ICANN’s upcoming application window.
Driving Accessibility and Growth
The partnership between MAKE, Casper, and D3 is geared towards advancing accessibility and fostering growth in Web3. By leveraging D3’s expertise, the collaboration seeks to lower the barriers to entry into blockchain ecosystems, seamlessly integrating with the existing Internet infrastructure utilized by over 5 billion people worldwide.

Pioneering Interoperable Digital Identities
D3’s innovative platform is poised to revolutionize the integration of traditional Internet and Web3 ecosystems, offering enhanced utility, security, and universal access for what the company terms as ‘real Web3 domains.’ Unlike existing Web3 naming solutions, D3’s platform ensures interoperability with traditional Internet infrastructure, encompassing support for DNS, browsers, email, smart devices, and more.

Steuer emphasized the universal nature of domains and their importance in onboarding and scaling Casper’s enterprise blockchain solutions.
Unlocking Seamless Integration
Fred Hsu, CEO at D3, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming MAKE and Casper on a journey to streamline the connection between Web3 and Internet infrastructure. Hsu emphasized the pivotal role of the Domain Name System in making the Internet accessible and navigable, envisioning its potential to extend the same ease of access to Web3 and the Casper ecosystem.
Onboarding the Next Billion Users
Through their collaborative efforts, MAKE, Casper, and D3 aim to onboard the next billion users to Web3 by offering ‘real Web3 domains’ that ensure accessibility and seamless integration with billions of Internet-enabled devices. This partnership represents a significant stride towards fostering inclusivity and driving adoption in the evolving landscape of blockchain technology.
