01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Quik.com was a peer-to-peer NFT domain marketplace founded in 2022. It let users mint, buy and sell blockchain-based domain names under ten alternative top-level domains such as .metaverse, .vr, .chain, .doge and .web3. The names were positioned as permanent, censorship-resistant digital identities that could replace crypto wallet addresses and host decentralized websites, with minters earning 5-10% royalties on secondary sales.
