Emerging Trends in the .locker Zone File

As .locker continues to grow as the domain name for Web3 digital identities, we’re seeing interesting trends take shape across our zone file records. Because every .locker is a domain name plus a secure identity anchored on Bitcoin and integrated with ENS for Ethereum, these early patterns give us a glimpse into how users are building in the next era of the internet.

Web3 Blogs and Services‍

It’s no surprise that many of the first movers with .locker are building Web3-focused blogs and services. These users understand the alignment: .locker is both a digital identity and a digital vault, a natural fit for those creating in the decentralized ecosystem. 

Digital Directories for Web3-Ready Users‍

We’re also seeing a strong use case for .locker as a Web2 personal hub or digital directory. Many registrants are using their .locker domain to list wallet addresses, social handles, profiles, and other qualifications. This mirrors one of the core utilities of .locker- giving users a trusted place to anchor their assets and presence online as a Web3 digital identity.

The Rise of AI and Web3‍

Perhaps the most exciting trend is the influence of AI. A growing number of users are registering .locker names that reference AI, including startups, vibe coders, and personal projects. This reinforces what we’ve been sensing at Orange Domains- the convergence of Web3 and AI, the two most transformative forces in tech today, has already arrived.

At .locker, we’re leaning into these trends. Whether you’re building in Web3, exploring AI, or simply claiming your digital identity, .locker is proving to be the TLD of choice for innovators shaping the future.
