NexBloc has partnered with Alexa Varano, known for her work in sustainable and wearable art, to create the first avatar NFT tied to a blockchain DNS (bDNS). NexBloc will dedicate the blockchain top-level domain (bTLD), .blochead, for naming each BlocHead image as a registered NFT. NexBloc will provide a limited custom series of 100 one-of-a-kind BlocHeads to partners and prominent participants of NexBloc’s current $NEXB token raise. In addition, 900 BlocHeads will represent variations of classic characters. These are part of NexBloc’s gated content for levels of staking rewards of $NEXB.
Alexa Varano has long been painting and creating with an eye toward sustainability. Her work includes a wearable series of hand-painted designs on shirts, hats, and other wearables made from sustainable materials. Each is unique, and she is bringing that inspired design to her direction for the custom NFT connected art for BlocHeads. She stated, “As an artist, I am always looking to reach people with visual messages tied to my belief in inner peace and global harmony. With the BlocHead collection, I can reach many more people by creating something that has value to the collector through visibility to the communities they use their avatars with.”
Dana Farbo, Founder of NexBloc, said, “Alexa represents the decentralized world in a way that shows a respect for nature and an emphasis on uniqueness for each of us. We are proud to have her creating the BlocHead line of avatars for our community.”
In addition to fun ways for showing the owner’s individuality, BlocHeads can also have a value for personal authenticity to systems and applications. Because they connect to bDomains such as yourname.blochead, they can act as authentication via Web3 wallets and the decentralized applications built to optimize Web 3.0. This connection is the first in the market for bDomains tied to a digital art piece as an avatar using NFT technology.
NexBloc is building out numerous use cases for bDNS and the optimization of Web 3.0 and has partners that range from metaverse interoperability to managing bankable assets.

NexBloc today announced that it has partnered with Arcade Network, the world’s first decentralized platform providing cross-metaverse asset interoperability, to build out a blockchain domain naming system for in-game assets and user authentication. NexBloc will accelerate its development on Polygon to provide value across Arcade Network’s ecosystem of development partners.
With the rise of multiple metaverse offerings, creating interoperable asset exchange has become one of the most promising advancements in technology for the decentralized space. Assets that are NFT (non-fungible token) can be named as domains under blockchain DNS (bDNS) for the purpose of creating a hierarchy and ownership structure. For instance, rather than having lots of NFT’s as hashes connected to the stored asset, we can now set up a domain structure such as .arc and then yourname.arc. Yourname.arc can act like a website which holds any number of connections to assets. As such, an asset like a shield might be called shield1.yourname.arc.
Using bDNS allows for an evolving system that has similarities with the current DNS structures, making it much easier for everyone to understand how to classify and access their assets. WordPress and blog software allowed anyone to put images into a website and position those assets for use. Likewise, NexBloc and Arcade Network are creating the ability for any metaverse asset to be accessible to various applications and systems.
Dana Farbo, Founder of NexBloc stated, “domain naming with human-readable names has proven to be the preferred method of using a web-based environment. As people, we understand this type of a system rather than a hash based or other naming convention. NexBloc will use our omnichain platform to extend the Polygon development for Arcade Network and build a specific environment for cross-metaverse assets.”
Arcade Network Founder Chinka Gupta added, “Using NexBloc’s bDNS, we will be able to add significant value to our ecosystem partners and further our mission of creating metaverses on the fly using ArcVerse. We will bring out new tools specific to the gaming world using domains, NFTs and applications that allow for an interconnected world in Web 3.0.”
The rollout of the bDNS for Arcade Network will start with the creation of a bTLD and include a reservation system for gamers to register for blockchain domains beginning February 1st. Other tools will continually be added to increase value to users of the partner network.

Sep 29, 2021 | Business
Web23 Inc., a USA company and NexBLOC, a British Virgin Islands company, are partnering to develop a blockchain based naming system that runs natively on the Cardano blockchain platform. The initiative continues the move of the Butterfly Protocol onto numerous blockchains to ensure that those communities have the tools needed for full decentralized internet optimization.
The Butterfly Protocol was originally created using the Ethereum blockchain and continues to provide resources and tools for the Ethereum community. But, according to Dana Farbo, Founder of NexBLOC, the move helps expand the various blockchain development communities’ access to a unified naming convention. Mr. Farbo stated that, “we will continue to lock the root domain on Ethereum but by using other blockchains, we can prepare for wider acceptance of blockchain DNS (bDNS) and lower costs for using the decentralized web.”
Som Kirann, Founder of Web23 went on to say “Cardano has been driving decentralization at its core and with the recent deployment of their Plutus smart contract capabilities, we wanted to be a first mover in creating capabilities for human readable naming that exist on other chains. Working with Butterfly and NexBLOC allows us to move fast and prepare for a bright future within the Cardano community.”
This marks the second blockchain in the NexBLOC roadmap for naming system ubiquity across chains. Earlier this year, the buildout on XDC Networks was announced and work is progressing rapidly on the XDC blockchain. Supported by a grant from the XDC Foundation, a full deployment and rollout is expected for November 1st, 2021. In addition to the standard access tools for connecting websites using IPFS, wallet authentication and browser extensions, NexBLOC is working with XDC Networks dApp developers to integrate specific dDNS solutions for their projects.
Web23 is known for its work on allowing companies or individuals to create domains at scale. This is important for building an offensive and defensive system around brands and professional work. The SaaS solution creates an artificial intelligence supported capability to acquire similar names automatically based on trends, word searches and social media chatter. They are integrating the system into the decentralized domain acquisition space with low gas fee blockchains such as Cardano. As per Mr. Kirann, “rapid and bulk domain acquisition with the current state of Ethereum gas fees makes it prohibitive to deploy at scale. Cardano, XDC Networks and other blockchains allow us to provide a solution that supports the brand owner.”
The Cardano deployment is expected to be ready in mid-Q4, 2021, with other blockchains planned as part of the collaboration between Web23 and NexBLOC.
About Butterfly Protocol (https://www.butterflyprotocol.io/)
Butterfly Protocol is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that aims to replace the Domain Name System (DNS) system and change the economics of domain ownership.
About Web23 (https://web23.io)
Blockchains are starting to open whole new world of possibilities where top level domains (TLDs) as well as long and weird wallet addresses need to be converted into human readable formats, the motive for existing ICANN based domains and their resolutions to IP addresses.
As a SaaS solution, Web23 aims to:
– Automatically protect the primary domain & neighborhood domains in the ICANN world
– Optimize publishing of the domains to minimize the effects of look-alike domains
– Notify owners & admin in 24X7 mode with ongoing threats targeted to the domains
– Automatically protect the primary domain & neighborhood domains in the Blockchain world
– Notify users about impersonated accounts in social media
– Assess health of the brands with respect to domains & their resolving/publishing
At Web23, ICANN & Blockchain domains would be bought, administered, transferred & monitored in the secured, optimized & automated ways
