❓What is a Name Collision ❓
In #Web2 a collision occurs when an attempt to resolve a #domain name in a private namespace results in a query to the public #DNS
When private and public domain namespaces overlap, it can create security risks, confusion, and systems failure.

While traditional #Web2 domain names are organized by @ICANN , there is no such governing body or alliance in #Web3.
In Web3, “domains” are used to send and receive #cryptocurrency in place of lengthy alphanumeric wallet addresses and are a vital component of Digital #Identity

The risks and dangers of collision with #web3domains can be pretty serious.
Imagine sending #Bitcoin to the wrong james.defiwallet, or connecting your wallet to opensea.crypto and getting a scammer’s website instead of the real @opensea

❓How likely are Web3 Domains to Collide❓
Very likely 😢
The lack of a governing body or domain library in the #Web3 space enables duplicate creation of TLDs and SLDs by competing #blockchain DNS registrars such as @HNS , @decentra_web , @freenameio, @unstoppableweb & more.

❓How do we resolve this in the future❓
The recall of .coin SLDs created and sold by @unstoppableweb is the one example of how the issue with colliding #Web3 TLDs may play out.
#UDfam didn't know that a company called #Emercoin had started offering .coin “domains” 8 yrs ago

Not surprisingly, @unstoppableweb has now led the charge with creating a formal solution and alliance to combat this issue in the future.
Their solution, the Web3 Domain Alliance, has been met with scrutiny by #UDfam critics, but it is a step in the right direction.
