Beyond Traditional Domain Ownership

Traditional domain ownership follows a simple model: one registrant owns and controls the domain entirely. Doma Protocol enables entirely new ownership paradigms that have never existed in the domain industry, unlocking financial utility and accessibility for a previously illiquid asset class.

Shared Ownership

The launchpad contracts, along with the composer module, enable shared ownership by converting domains into fungible ERC-20 tokens:

  • Accessible Investment: Premium domains worth $100K+ become accessible through fractional shares

  • Transparent Price Discovery: True market driven price discovery can be achieved.

  • Liquidity Without Selling: Access capital without relinquishing valuable domain assets

  • Portfolio Management: Trade domain tokens like other fungible assets

  • DeFi Integration: Fractional tokens can participate in liquidity pools and lending protocols

Rights-Based Ownership

Through synthetic tokens, ownership can be decomposed by capability rather than percentage. Different parties can own different rights to the same domain:

  • One entity owns subdomain creation rights

  • Another owns DNS management capabilities

  • A third owns email configuration authority

  • Primary ownership token holder retains renewal and transfer rights
