Open-Web Media & Identity Platform

DNS.xyz

DNS.xyz: one social login gave you a wallet you own, a portable identity, and a place to publish and sell directly to fans. Four surfaces, one platform on Tezos.

I founded DNS.xyz to put media, identity, and ownership on the open web without making any of it feel like crypto. One account, created from an ordinary social login, carried a wallet the user genuinely owned, a portable identity, and a place to publish and sell directly to an audience. It ran on Tezos, on a gasless social rollup that Tezos core developers called the first of its kind.

The platform shipped as four surfaces, each its own application:

  • Direct-to-Fan Music lets artists release, build community, and sell straight to fans, with the artist owning the relationship.
  • Smart Wallets turns a Google or Twitter login into a non-custodial wallet, hiding account abstraction behind a normal signup.
  • Hyperminter is a one-flow batch minter, the most-used on Tezos.
  • Soundmojis are collectible characters with sound, designed like premium toys.

Open any surface below for the full case.

  • Direct-to-Fan Music: artists publish, build community, and sell straight to fans, with the artist owning the relationship. Some earned materially more here than streaming paid them.
  • Smart Wallets: sign in with Google or Twitter and receive a non-custodial wallet you genuinely own. Account abstraction hidden behind a normal signup.
  • Hyperminter: drop in your art, edit metadata in bulk, mint the whole set in one click. The most-used batch minter on Tezos.
  • Soundmojis: collectible characters with sound, designed like premium toys you want on a shelf.
