ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At the Solana Breakpoint 2025 conference, D3 Global and InterNetX today announced a groundbreaking partnership to begin tokenizing over 46 million internet domains as real-world assets (RWAs) and bridge them to Solana via Doma Protocol, the first blockchain to tokenize the internet domains. This integration will bring a significant part of the world’s internet infrastructure onchain for the first time and unlock a massive new asset class for Solana’s ecosystem.
Following Doma Protocol’s mainnet launch last month, this collaboration validates the core vision of DomainFi: the internet’s infrastructure layer is moving onchain. Real .com, .ai, and .xyz domains can now exist as programmable, liquid assets without losing DNS functionality—bridging Web2’s $360B+ domain market with Web3’s users and composability.
Bringing Premier Domain Inventory to Solana
InterNetX is a member of IONOS Group, a leading European cloud and hosting provider, and manages 22M+ active domains and 24M+ premium listings across 30,000 global partners. InterNetX will leverage Doma Protocol to make its inventory tradable on Solana. This creates instant access to scarce, revenue-generating internet assets at Solana speed.
“The next phase of the internet can’t stay locked in Web2,” said Elias Rendón Benger, CEO of InterNetX. “Domains need to be programmable, liquid, and usable inside Web3 ecosystems. Doma is the only blockchain that keeps domains DNS-functional while enabling Web3 ownership and composability. Together with D3, we aim to bring our entire premium and retail inventory onchain at scale with zero disruption to how domains work today.”
Doma Protocol is an enabling technology behind the Solana Record Service project (records.solana.com), positioning it as critical infrastructure for Solana’s future identity layer. The Doma-SRS integration is currently live on devnet with a mainnet launch expected in early 2026.
Unlocking Domain-backed Primitives on Solana
Doma integration with Solana will enable users to:
- Trade premium domains as NFTs on Solana marketplaces
- Launch premium domain tokens like $SOFTWARE.AI with transparent bonding curves and pricing models
- Store domains as native assets Solana wallets
- Access domain-backed lending, fractional ownership, and integrate domains into Solana DeFi protocols for borrowing, liquidity, and other onchain primitives
- Build RWA portfolios backed by real internet infrastructure
“This is the first time the global domain industry is coming onchain at scale, unlocking an entirely new RWA class for Web3,” said Fred Hsu, CEO & Co-Founder of D3. “Solana is a core ecosystem for Doma from day one because its speed and composability perfectly match our vision. Real domains can now sit alongside tokens and NFTs in Solana as scarce, revenue-generating assets backed by the utility of the internet itself.”
The InterNetX collaboration represents a critical milestone in the partnership to bring institutional-grade assets to Web3, with domains offering inherent scarcity, utility, and value.
