Traditionally, to send Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge, and other cryptocurrencies, you need to enter the recipient's 25-42 digit alphanumeric wallet address.

Soon, Blockchain.com will be able to use human-readable usernames in blockchain transactions, thanks to a partnership with Unstoppable Domains.

With Unstoppable Domains, anyone can purchase a decentralized domain name created as an NFT on the Ethereum blockchain, giving the owner full ownership and control.

Now, instead of "156i6HJfMWb1h2BEsKpfvZ2tQugqo4vs2w", users can simply type "[YourName].crypto" to send money to others or between accounts.

But, why should we use Unstoppable Domains? Wasn't there already Namecoin whose domain name (.bit) is decentralized and unstoppable too?
