Progressing forward into the realm of decentralized web necessarily means that we must be decentralizing our domains as well. Enter Unstoppable Domains, running on the Zilliqa blockchain.

Here custom crypto domains can be purchased for as little as $40. I picked up klymacks.zil and klymacks.crypto and setup all my addresses to reverse-forward to klymacks.zil. What does all that geek-speak mean? Basically, I replaced my library of long addresses with one simple short one that anyone can read and it's simple to share, remember and use.
But, what if you can't afford it?
No worries, because Opera browser has an awesome promotion going on right now and thus, your back as well. All you need to do right now to get a domain for free is:
1. Setup Opera- If you don't already have it your can download it from https://www.opera.com/ for free. Make sure crypto wallet is turned on in the menu.
2. Navigate to the dapp store in Opera. https://www.opera.com/dapps-portal/
3. Open the link for Unstoppable Domains (top left pictured below)
4. If you like the animal randomly selected, then awesome! Click on 'Continue'. If not, click on 'Try Another One' until it feels right. Here's a llama below.
5. Connect your wallet. It's easy to use web3 wallets like Metamask here.
**PSA, I actually was able to successfully complete this process fine in Brave and bypassed the Opera browser altogether for a second address.**
I recommend only registering an address or two that you'll actually use. Then, go tell your friends so they can get their own crypto link free! If animals aren't their thing, they can always pay for a custom one at my link below.
Friends that use the link get $10 off their first purchase worth $40 or more and the domains you register you keep forever!
