Unstoppable Domains: IPFS Configuration

Learn how to configure Unstoppable Domains for use with Filebase.

What are Unstoppable Domains?

Unstoppable Domains are NFT domains that are associated with a crypto wallet and minted on blockchain networks, just like other forms of NFTs like image or music files. Unstoppable Domains can be used with DNS CNAME records like traditional domain names, meaning you can use an Unstoppable Domain as a domain name for a personal website or blog.

Prerequisites:

• Purchase and mint an Unstoppable Domain.

• Sign up for a free Filebase account.

• Create a Filebase IPFS bucket.

• Upload website files, such as index.html, and any other website source files into this Filebase IPFS bucket as a folder. Learn more about uploading folders to IPFS here.
