How to Buy An Unstoppable NFT Domain (In 3 Quick Steps)

With NFT domains becoming more popular and having several use-cases, you might be wondering how to buy an Unstoppable Domain. After buying several of these domains myself, I learned that you can buy an Unstoppable Domain in three quick and easy steps.

How to Buy an Unstoppable Domain

To buy an Unstoppable Domain, follow these three steps below.

1. Search for a domain name

First, go to Unstoppable Domains’ website to search for your domain. You’ll notice that there are numerous domain endings (TLDs) to choose from (.nft, .crypto, .blockchain,.888, .x, etc.).

All the endings provide you with the same functionalities. However, the domain endings can all be utilized differently depending on your goals.

The most premium domain ending according to Unstoppable Domains is “.x”.

However, “.nft” is a popular choice as well. You might also notice that not all the domain endings are available.

That means someone already owns the domain or Unstoppable hasn’t released it yet.

If this is the case, you can scroll down to see suggested domains that are similar to the one you entered, or you can search for another domain completely.

2. Add your domain to your cart and checkout

Once you have confirmed that the domain you want is available and the price is acceptable, you can add your domain to your shopping cart.

Additionally, if you want to add more than one domain to your cart, you can.

Currently, there are four payment methods you can use to buy your Unstoppable Domain.

Unstoppable Domain offers four payment options.

Note: Unstoppable Domains only accepts BTC, BCH, ETH, DAI, LTC, and USDC cryptocurrencies when using crypto to buy a domain.

3. Mint your Unstoppable Domain

You can buy your Unstoppable domain without connecting your web3 wallet. However, if you want to mint your domain, you’re going to need to connect your wallet.

Connect wallet to Unstoppable Domain.

To connect your wallet:

  1. Go to your Account Setting, and choose Add Wallet.
  2. Sign the transaction using your wallet to connect it to the Unstoppable Domains website.

If you don’t have a wallet, I recommend using Metamask Wallet to get started.

That being said, you should learn how to properly store your NFTs for maximum safety before buying an NFT domain. Otherwise, you risk losing your domain to hackers and scammers.

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 domain to the blockchain.

Follow these steps to mint your domain:

  3. Enter your 2FA verification code
  4. Connect your wallet
  5. Confirm and sign the transaction

It’s important to note that the minting process can take a few minutes.

You will be notified once the minting process is complete. To check the mint status you can click the Check Status button or go to My Domains, and view the Transaction Status there.

To view more specific details on the blockchain explorer (PolygonScan), tap the “tx_id” under the Transaction Status.

Once your mint is successful, you are now in complete control of your blockchain domain.

After minting your domain you can set up your domain profile, add your cryptocurrency addresses, create your own decentralized website, or try to sell it for a profit.

How Much Does it Cost to Mint an NFT Domain?

Minting an NFT domain on Unstoppable Domains costs between $5 to over $1,000 for the most premium domain names. The shorter the domain is, the more it will cost. As well, the more premium domain endings like “x” and “.nft” generally cost more. Notably, there are no renewal or transaction fees.

Unstoppable achieves no transaction fees by enabling you to mint your domain on Polygon.

Also, considering Unstoppable Domains are legitimate NFTs, once you purchase it, it’s yours to keep forever.

Can I Sell My Unstoppable Domain?

You can sell your Unstoppable Domain directly on Unstoppable’s website or you can list it for sale on an NFT marketplace like Opensea. Below, I will show you how to sell your NFT using both of these methods.
