Censorship-Resistant Domain

A blockchain domain that cannot be seized or taken down by any central authority.

A censorship-resistant domain is a Web3 domain stored on a public blockchain that cannot be seized, suspended, or taken down by any government, registrar, or central authority. Traditional ICANN domains can be seized by governments or suspended by registrars. Blockchain domains like ENS .eth and Unstoppable Domains names are controlled only by the private key holder, making censorship technically infeasible.
