Dan.com today introduces a fully automated domain ownership transfer service and Transfer Bot today.
Amsterdam based company Dan.com is excited to announce the launch of its new platform and distribution network called: the Domain Automation Network.
With the Domain Automation Network, it solves the most significant problems in the domain industry by creating a new backend infrastructure to handle both simple and complex domain transactions and transfers, fully automated and transparent powered by blockchain.
The domain industry nowadays finds itself in a very outdated and inefficient state. It suffers from complicated workarounds which make it inefficient. Usable and available registered domains are hard to find and have become too expensive.
Some facts and figures: in total there are 334 million registered domains, of which 147 million are unused! The average price on the secondary market for a domain is €2.759 which means there are €405 billion illiquid assets. Time for disruption, and that's what Dan.com will bring to the table.
This game changing network will be the catalyst of innovation in the market. It created a platform where making a change of control and ownership of digital brands easier, safer and instant. The use of blockchain technology makes it possible to automate processes required to provide fast & efficient domain ownership transfers. Escrow automation also makes it possible to introduce new domain purchase and use models like renting domains, lease to own, fractional domain ownership and domain exchange in a scalable and frictionless way.
