Cyber Scrilla – Your Web3 Pro.

Web3 requires you to connect to various apps and platforms using your email. This puts you at risk as it exposes you to potential phishing attacks if those apps are breached. That’s why Unstoppable Domains email exists. So what is it and how does it work? Unstoppable Domains email provides you with an anonymized way to send emails while maintaining the privacy of your personal email address. Every Unstoppable Domain comes with a free “ud.me” address you can use with your personal email (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) or with Skiff—an end-to-end encrypted inbox. As technology advances, so does our need for privacy. That’s why Unstoppable Domains aims to increase user privacy via ownership. Below, you’ll learn how Unstoppable is using NFT domains to provide users with increased privacy, and how to get your own ud.me email address. What is Unstoppable Domains Email? Unstoppable Domains email allows you to add an additional layer of privacy to your existing email address or utilize their partnership with Skiff. Cyber Scrilla's Unstoppable email When you buy an Unstoppable Domain, you get instant access to a free ud.me email address (yourdomain.nft@ud.me). It’s important to note that the email function is opt-in only—meaning it’s your choice whether you want to enable it or not. If you choose to enable your ud.me email using your personal email address, all emails sent to your UD address will be forwarded to your personal email. This allows you to maintain the privacy of your personal email address while still being able to send and receive messages, and sign up for various platforms without sacrificing privacy. Why Use Unstoppable Domains Email? You should use Unstoppable Domain’s email if you want increased privacy for your personal email address and complete control over your messages. Using your free UD email, you can block addresses, allow specific senders, and turn off forwarding entirely within your UD profile, while remaining anonymous. Here are some key features provided by Unstoppable Domains email: Enjoy increased privacy for free when you own an Unstoppable Domain.Send and receive messages without exposing your personal email.Sign up for apps and other platforms while maintaining privacy.Block or allow specific senders.Send end-to-end encrypted emails using Skiff. Overall, the implementation of Unstoppable email provides domain holders with more utility and is the next natural step in Unstoppable’s journey to decentralize the web. How Does Unstoppable’s Email Work? By purchasing your own Unstoppable Domain, you gain access to a free @ud.me email address. To enable your @ud.me email, go to My Domains, select your domain, and toggle it on. From there, you can choose to connect it to your personal email or create an encrypted email with Skiff. Here are the two options you have when setting up your Unstoppable Domain email. Personal Email. Choosing your personal email (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.) means that any message sent to your UD email will be forwarded to your personal inbox. This means a sender can contact you using yourdomain.nft@ud.me. Likewise, any email you respond to will show it was sent from your UD email (not your personal address). Unstoppable does this by using an email proxy service to exchange messages for your domain’s UD email address. Skiff (third-party email). Creating a free account with Skiff allows you to send and receive end-to-end encrypted messages. Moreover, you can enable end-to-end encrypted, decentralized storage on IPFS via the settings tab. If you choose to use this option, messages will not be sent to your personal email but rather to your Skiff inbox. Once enabled, your UD email address will be the default option when you send emails using Skiff.

The main safety benefit of using Unstoppable’s email appears in the form of privacy and control. By giving domain holders the ability to communicate anon and choose who can and can’t send you an email, Unstoppable Domains has created a system where you are in control of who you let access your data and privacy. How to Buy an Unstoppable Domain Buying an Unstoppable Domain is easy. Follow these four simple steps below. 1. Search for a domain First, head over to Unstoppable Domains' website to search for your domain. You’ll notice that there are numerous domain endings (TLDs) to choose from (.nft, .crypto, .x, etc.). All the endings provide you with the same functionalities. However, the domain endings can all be utilized differently depending on your goals. Search for your domain name After you decided which ending you want, enter your desired domain name into the search box. From there, you will be directed to the purchasing page. 2. Buy your domain Once you have confirmed that the domain you want is available and the price is acceptable, you can buy your domain. Generally, Unstoppable will display the same domain name with different ending options in case you want to purchase a variety of endings for that same name. Choose your payment method Currently, there are four payment methods to choose from: Credit cardPaypalCrypto (BTC, BCH, ETH, DAI, LTC, USDC)Crypto.com pay If you are sending your payment from a crypto exchange like Coinbase, make sure you send enough to cover the fees implemented by the exchange. These fees are typically only a couple of dollars. You can preview the transaction before sending it to know exactly how much the exchange fee will be. 3. Connect your wallet to your account You can buy your NFT domain name without connecting your web3 wallet. However, if you want to mint your domain, you’re going to need to connect your wallet.

If you don’t have a wallet, I recommend using Coinbase Wallet to get started. That being said, you should learn how to properly store your NFTs for maximum safety before buying one. Otherwise, you risk losing your NFTs to hackers and scammers. 4. Mint your domain Your domain is not functional until you mint it. After you purchase your domain, it will appear under the My Domains section of your profile. This is where you will go to officially mint your NFT to the blockchain.
