.lunar Domains Launch to the Moon

Unstoppable Domains and Copernic Space have announced the launch of .lunar, a groundbreaking onchain top-level domain designed for innovators across space, crypto, and DePIN technologies. For the first time in history, curated .lunar domain badges will be sent to the Moon.

A Historic Partnership

Unstoppable Domains, the leading platform for Web3 domains, and Copernic Space, the premiere Web3-native marketplace for real-world space assets, have announced the launch of .lunar, a revolutionary top-level domain designed for innovators across space, crypto, and DePIN technologies.

In a historic first, a curated group of .lunar domain badges will be sent as graphics within a commercial moon mission currently scheduled for 2026. The domain badges will be authenticated and tokenized as Real World Space Assets by Copernic Space, providing provable ownership of their domain badge on the lunar surface.

Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains, explained the vision: ".lunar is about more than naming. It's about identity in the next frontier. As humanity builds in space, blockchain, and AI, our digital identities should be as bold and forward-looking as the innovations they represent. With Copernic Space, we're making history by literally taking Web3 domains where they've never gone before: into space."

The Accelerating Space Economy

This launch comes at a pivotal moment in space industry growth. More than 10,000 active space assets are in orbit today, a figure set to triple within five years. The space economy is already valued at more than $600 billion, with projections to surge past $1.8 trillion in the next decade.

• Payload segment: Projected to exceed $75 billion by 2030
• Satellite imagery market: Forecast to hit $508 billion by 2027

A Domain for Builders and Dreamers

Short, high-energy, and future-facing, .lunar domains are designed for projects that move fast, whether in code, culture, or space. Like all Unstoppable TLDs, .lunar domains come with built-in onchain utility. From launch.lunar to power.lunar and capsule.lunar, the domain extension has value both within and outside the space industry.

Lady Rocket (Eva Blaisdell), Co-Founder of Copernic Space, emphasized the democratization aspect: "The new space economy is about inclusion, ownership, and participation. With .lunar, we're giving everyone a chance to claim a name that's not just on the internet—it's part of the space economy. Sending domains into space and turning them into Real-World Space Assets is a declaration that ownership in space belongs to all of us."

Making Space History

Access to become part of the inaugural batch of .lunar domains heading to the Moon on a future mission will be revealed at launch. These domains will join Copernic Space's growing ecosystem, which already includes partnerships with companies like Axiom Space, Orbits Edge, CUDO Compute, and Exos Aerospace.

"This is the first naming layer you can actually see from space," added Carter. "It's a powerful symbol of where the internet and humanity is headed."

The Future of Space Domains

This is just the beginning. Unstoppable Domains and Copernic Space will soon introduce additional space-related domain extensions, each linked to real space assets and missions that push the boundaries of participation in the space economy.

The partnership represents a convergence of two powerful trends: the rise of decentralized identities on Web3 and the explosion of commercial space activities. By enabling domain badges to be tokenized as real-world space assets, this initiative creates a new form of digital identity that is literally out of this world.
