He has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you can take any NFT Domain and build utility and value on it.

If you would like to own an NFT domain, you can buy one here for as little as $5 and own it forever.

Eriq Ferrari (Yes that is his real name) is the TEAMFERRARI.NFT OG and our #UDFAM favorite Italian. He has a great sense of humor (of course, he is Italian) and I am frankly glad to have met him in #UDVerse. His passion, enthusiasm and energy is felt everywhere in UDverse. He is super bullish about NFT domains and web3.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present to you the brave innovator and UDFAM brother, Eriq Ferrari.

You are the developer of UDPREMIUM.NFT an amazing and clever tool that has facilitated the Unstoppable 3digit FOMO Bullrun. How did the idea for such a tool come about and did you know that it would have such a profound impact on 3digits sales?

First of all, I want to thank you and the #UDFam for the love showed to me! I really appreciate! Well, I was already writing my own codes to interact with Unstoppable Domains API, when I came across this big FOMO for 3-digit domains.

Finding 3-digit domains was very frustrating for the user experience, since only a few of them are still available. There is only 1000 possibility for each tld extension. So, I decided to build this simple tool that automatically fetches the real-time data from UD, to get your results with one click.

I’d like to mention that .nft sold out in a couple of days. How much time would it take to secure so many domains with a standard search when only a few are remaining? I’m sure the tool helped a lot of people. Easy access to data is the key to success.

Do you think you could also adapt UDPREMIUM.NFT to include secondary sales of 3digits and other premium NFT Domains?

Yeah man! I need the time to build new features. For now, I will principally focus on discovery and statistics tools. For the secondary market, I still have to do my own research. I want to find a good way to interact with users and contracts.

You also run a very informative Italian website Instoppabile.it Could you please explain what this is about and how is the response from the Italian audience?

Instoppabile.it is my first approach to UD for the Italian market. Our land is reluctant to changes: education and innovation are the only chances to build our future. The purpose is just that. Educating Italians about web3 and
helping to acquire some knowledge about this innovation that changed the web. I’m planting the seeds. Time will tell but I’m confident! Actually just a few crypto enthusiasts know about NFT domains.

How did you get into the Unstoppable rabbit hole? What is your web3 origins story?

I was speaking with my friend about domaining. I had just bought a bunch of .it domains related to NFT when he showed me Unstoppable Domains. It has been LoveAt1stSight.NFT 😀 Immediately I understood the great value of UD and decided to start the journey. Frankly speaking, this moment reminds me of the 90’s, when there was a “bullrun” to acquire legacy domain names. I was too young to invest in it, but now I cannot miss the train again.

You have a fine collection of 0x domains, and you are very bullish about the 0x prefix. Can you explain your rationale for the 0x domains?

Yes, I wrote some thoughts about it. 0x is the prefix of every crypto address based on ETH. Every cryptonaut knows it. Which is the best solution to show your belonging to this world? Simply adding your 0x prefix in front of the name you want to adopt. And it’s a hacker trick too… On UD with the 0x prefix you can decrease the domain price of about 75% and it’s the only affordable and acceptable solution to reserve a protected name.

Example: BankOf is a protected metakey. But here we go with 0xBankOf.crypto. With one trick you will get: no protection for the metakey, a lower price and a Crypto Membership within your domain name. Many Dapps are already beginning to adopt the Ox prefix.

You also have a lot of great Italian painters and artists in your collection. How much does your Italian heritage influence your minting?

Italian cultural heritage is great inspiration to me. We have a lot of Arts to show off, but we need a vehicle to make it more accessible.

NFT Domains can help with the job! I strong believe in .nft for Museums, Collections and Artists. With a web3 approach they will benefit from ease of access and certification of their works. I’m ready too to host my next 0xBiennale.nft

What are your thoughts on the recent email integration of Unstoppable Domains and Skiff email?

It’s unstoppable! Only few months ago there was a lack of services offered, if compared to traditional domains, but now we have an integrated, end to end encrypted, privacy friendly, email system connected to our wallet.

You can communicate, and in the meantime, you keep all your information in a safe place. This is a great innovation, which will lead UD to higher levels and a capillary diffusion. For sure! These are the features that make the real value.

Brave Browser now supports all UNSTOPPABLE DOMAINS. How do you see SEO developing for the decentralized websites and how long do you think it will take for Google Chrome and Microsoft to start indexing and resolving NFT domains?

Google and Microsoft will index dweb in a very short time. Not because of the innovation but only because they are smelling the perfume of dollars and will try to enter web3. But they will come as losers, if they won’t change their business plans.
I just mentioned Presearch.com as a very good project for search queries. And their model, earn to search, is another gamechanger. I will link up with them to see if they are working on web3 indexing.

I own ILOVEPUSSY.NFT. How do you say that in Italian?

W la figa!!! not the perfect translation but is how we say it!! #WLF

How do you see NFT DOMAINS evolving in say 10 years from now?

In 10 years, we will be flying around the moon looking at people who did not inves in UD 😀

Really, this is a gamechanger for the Internet community and the legacy approach.

In 10 years, NFT domain, NFT ticketing (you known it, man), Crypto payments and Metaverse will be integrated in everyday life.

Our domains will be the entrance door for this world, our identity across the metaverse.

When you are not minting NFT domains or coding cool websites, what do you do to relax?

Cool Man! Love the nature, gardening, hiking in the mountains and I’m still playing basketball. In this period, I love to pick mushrooms in the woods, and then have a good Risotto with my son!!

Thank you Drumkoon.nft. I want just remind all of you about my motto: BE YOUR REVOLUTION! because super powers are inside you!
