Web3 domain provider Unstoppable Domains will integrate in early 2023 with Ethereum’s popular blockchain explorer, Etherscan, as well as Polygonscan, the company said Thursday.

The integration will allow users to look up any Unstoppable Domain address on Etherscan and Polygonscan to analyze on-chain data and trace transactions. It will also display the readable domains (such as a .crypto domain) on the two explorers, instead of just showing the long complicated wallet addresses.

“Starting with easy access to human-readable blockchain data, we’re helping Etherscan and Polygonscan users make the most out of their digital identities,” said Sandy Carter, senior vice president and channel chief at Unstoppable Domains, in a press release.

Web3 domains have seen a surge in registrations over the past few months. With Unstoppable Domains, users can connect their crypto wallet addresses to a .crypto domain name, in the same way that internet users type .com or .gov into a browser to access websites' numeric Internet Protocol addresses. Ethereum Names Service is another popular web3 domain provider that connects users addresses on the Ethereum blockchain with .eth domains.

“Web3 name domains make a big difference to the usability and transparency of blockchain data,” said Matthew Tan, CEO of Etherscan, in the press release. “With Unstoppable Domains, Etherscan and Polygonscan users are better able to understand all activity happening on-chain.”

In August, Unstoppable Domains released an iPhone app to bring Web3 identities to users' cellphones.

State of the Blockchain 2025

State of the Blockchain 16:9

L1 tokens broadly underperformed in 2025 despite a backdrop of regulatory and institutional wins. Explore the key trends defining ten major blockchains below.

What to know:

2025 was defined by a stark divergence: structural progress collided with stagnant price action. Institutional milestones were reached and TVL increased across most major ecosystems, yet the majority of large-cap Layer-1 tokens finished the year with negative or flat returns.

This report analyzes the structural decoupling between network usage and token performance. We examine 10 major blockchain ecosystems, exploring protocol versus application revenues, key ecosystem narratives, mechanics driving institutional adoption, and the trends to watch as we head into 2026.

Bitcoin isn’t under quantum threat yet, but upgrade could take 5-10 years

Quantum Computing Room

Even if quantum machines capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography are decades away, the work required to update software, infrastructure and user behavior would be measured in years, not months.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin developers are preparing for the potential threat of quantum computing, which could take 5 to 10 years to address if necessary.
  • The shift in focus is from the immediacy of quantum threats to the logistics of updating Bitcoin's infrastructure and user behavior.
  • Bitcoin's conservative governance model complicates large-scale transitions, requiring significant coordination for any move toward quantum-resistant cryptography.
