AR.IO has announced a new feature allowing users to purchase domain names using credit cards, linked to the launch of ArNS, a decentralized domain service on the Arweave blockchain.
New Feature at AR.IO
With this launch, AR.IO users can now use credit cards to buy credits that can be exchanged for domain names through the ArNS service. This simplifies the process of acquiring domain names and makes it more accessible to a wider audience.
Benefits of ArNS and Its Unique Features
ArNS provides users with the option to purchase domain names permanently, eliminating the need for recurring subscriptions typical of traditional platforms. 'With ArNS and its permanent purchase option, you will never lose access to your domain name or website because you forgot to pay a subscription,' stated Phil Mataras, founder and CEO of AR.IO.
About AR.IO and Future Prospects
AR.IO positions itself as the first permanent cloud network providing decentralized access to data and domains. The company aims to create a more reliable and secure internet free from centralized control.
The launch of the credit card purchase option for domain names is a significant step in the development of AR.IO and could transform the approach to digital ownership in the internet.
