Explore, Earn, and Build: What You Can Do with .locker
Online, you’re scattered. One handle for social media, a separate domain for your website, a username for every app and a long, unreadable wallet address for getting paid. Each one lives on a different platform, under that platform’s rules.
A .locker identity brings it all together. It’s one name, secured on the blockchain and owned by you, that can serve as your website, the way people reach you and the way you get paid. And because it’s tied to your digital wallet, it goes with you across the decentralized internet.
Most people start by using it to send and receive crypto. Here’s everything else your unified identity can do.
Get Paid With One Name
Wallet addresses are long, random strings of letters and numbers that are hard to share and easy to mistype. Your .locker identity replaces that string with a name people can actually remember, like hello.locker.
Share it the same way you’d share your website or social handle, and people can send you crypto or stablecoins directly, peer to peer, with no bank or payment app in the middle. The name people use to find you is the same name they use to pay you. And because a readable name is much easier to double-check than a wallet address, sending to the wrong place gets a lot less likely.
Explore DeFi
Decentralized finance, or DeFi, gives you financial tools that run on the blockchain instead of through a bank. With your wallet connected, you can swap tokens, stake assets, lend and earn yield, all without an institution holding your funds.
DeFi runs on transparency and ownership. Your assets stay in your wallet, and every transaction is recorded on a public ledger anyone can verify.
Before you dive in: DeFi comes with real risks, from fluctuating token prices to bugs in the smart contracts apps run on. Start small, stick to platforms you’ve researched, and always read what you’re signing.
Join DAOs
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are communities that make decisions together, without a CEO or central leadership. Members propose ideas, vote and decide how to use shared funds, whether that’s backing new projects, supporting causes or shaping where a protocol goes next.
Your voting power in a DAO usually comes from the tokens or NFTs in your wallet. Your .locker identity gives you a recognizable name in those conversations, the same one people already know you by everywhere else.
Use dApps Without Passwords
Today’s internet runs on apps. Web3 runs on decentralized apps, or dApps, which power everything from marketplaces and messaging to art galleries and file storage.
With dApps, there’s no account to create and no password to remember. You connect your wallet, and you’re in. In apps that support Web3 names, your .locker identity shows up as your username. No more juggling a different handle on every platform.
Build Your Web3 Profile
Your .locker identity is the hub for your whole online presence. Build it out so everything about you lives in one place:
- Add an avatar
- Link your social profiles and website
- Add text records with details you want to share
Anyone who looks up your name can find your profile, your links and a way to pay you, all in one spot. Unlike a social media profile, this one belongs to you. No platform can lock it, change it or take it away.
Level Up in Gaming and Collectibles
In Web3 games and collectible marketplaces, the items you earn or buy live in your wallet, not on a game company’s servers. That means you truly own them. You can trade them, sell them or show them off, sometimes even across different games and platforms.
Your .locker identity becomes your gamer tag, the same name that runs your profile and receives your payments, now connected to your collection and your reputation wherever you play.
The Bottom Line
You shouldn’t need a dozen accounts to exist online. A .locker identity unifies your website, your communications and your payments under one name you own. From there, it connects you to DeFi, DAOs, dApps, collectibles and more, and you stay in control the whole time.
One name. Everywhere you go. Claim your .locker identity and start exploring.
