DeFi Innovations: Secure Your Brand with .pulse TLDs
How 500+ DeFi protocols are securing their brands with blockchain domains and preventing phishing attacks.
Read ArticleHow blockchain domains are empowering artists, collectors, and galleries to own their digital identity forever in the $50B NFT market 🎨
Sarah Martinez spent three years building @cryptoartistSM on a major NFT platform—14,000 followers, $287,000 in sales, and a thriving collector community. Then one morning in March 2024, she woke up to a nightmare: her account was suspended due to a "terms of service violation" she never committed.
Gone. Her artist profile. Her sales history. Her direct connection to 14,000 collectors. Support tickets went unanswered for weeks. Meanwhile, an impersonator registered a similar username and started contacting her collectors, attempting to sell fake NFTs.
But here's what the scammer couldn't touch: sarahmartinez.pulse—the blockchain domain Sarah had minted six months earlier for just $47. Because it lived in her crypto wallet, not on someone else's server, no platform could suspend it. No company could revoke it. No impersonator could steal it.
"My .pulse domain was the only thing that proved I was still me. It saved my entire career."
— Sarah Martinez, NFT Artist with 287 ETH in verified sales
Sarah rebuilt her entire presence around her .pulse domain. She redirected her collectors to sarahmartinez.pulse, where she now hosts her portfolio site, proves her NFT authenticity on-chain, and runs her own marketplace—completely platform-independent. Six months later, she surpassed her previous sales record. And this time? Nobody can take it away.
Sarah's story isn't unique. Between 2023-2025, over 4,800 verified NFT artists lost access to their platform accounts due to suspensions, hacks, or platform shutdowns. Yet those who owned blockchain domains maintained their identity, provenance records, and collector relationships.
The NFT and digital art market is projected to be part of the $50 billion media tokenization market by 2026, according to Citi's Digital Asset Report. As this industry matures, artists and collectors are realizing a crucial truth: true ownership means owning your digital identity, not just your artwork.
.pulse domains solve this problem through blockchain-native ownership. Built on PulseChain and powered by the Freename protocol, these domains offer:
Pay once, own forever. No annual renewals, no expiration dates. Your domain lives in your wallet as an NFT.
No platform can suspend, revoke, or seize your domain. It's yours on-chain, secured by blockchain immutability.
Works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and all browsers through DNS-Web3 bridge. No plugins required.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore how .pulse domains are revolutionizing NFT artist identity, gallery operations, and collector verification—backed by real market data, case studies from successful artists, and actionable implementation strategies. Whether you're a digital artist, gallery owner, or serious NFT collector, understanding blockchain domains is essential for building a sustainable Web3 creative career.
