In an industry obsessed with fundraising headlines and speculative tokens, one project quietly built a sustainable Web3 business from the ground up — with real users, real transactions, and verified on-chain revenue.
💡 The Problem: Web3 Identity Without Real Utility
Since the rise of Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Space ID, the Web3 naming sector has struggled to move beyond speculation.
Most projects rely heavily on venture capital, focusing on token hype rather than day-to-day usability.
But what happens when you actually turn decentralized identity into a daily on-chain activity?
That’s exactly what ZNS Connect set out to answer.
The ZNS Approach: Build Utility First
Launched quietly nearly three years ago, ZNS Connect took a radically different path.
Instead of raising millions through private rounds, the team focused entirely on product, interoperability, and community growth.
No VC funding.
No hype campaigns.
No speculative listings.
Instead, they built a powerful multi-chain identity ecosystem that now spans 20+ mainnets and 10+ testnets, giving users the ability to:
✅ Mint and own Web3 domains
✅ Say “GM” on-chain across multiple networks
✅ Deploy smart contracts in one click
✅ Mint and sell NFTs on any EVM network
Each action is recorded and monetized directly on-chain — proving that identity in Web3 can have tangible, repeatable daily value.
$900K+ in Verified On-Chain Revenue
While others chase valuations, ZNS built a business.
According to public data on Dune Analytics, the ZNS ecosystem has already generated over $900,000 in organic on-chain revenue — without any private funding rounds or venture injections.
That revenue comes not from token speculation, but from real activity:
domain minting, renewals, smart contract deployments, and NFT interactions.
“We wanted to prove that you can grow a decentralized ecosystem through utility — not hype,”
said the ZNS Connect team.
“Every transaction is transparent. Our Dune dashboard tells the story better than any pitch deck.”
The Secret to Growth: Community, Not Capital
Unlike VC-backed identity projects, ZNS grew entirely through its users.
Over 263,000 domains have been minted and 200,000+ GM actions recorded — all without a single investor-backed marketing campaign.
The team introduced a simple but powerful referral model:
🔗 Users earn +25% bonuses when they mint a domain — available at zns.bio/referrals.
This transparent system turned users into ambassadors, fueling exponential adoption without paid influencers or market makers.
Multi-Chain from Day One
Web3 isn’t one chain — and ZNS Connect built around that principle.
From Ethereum and Polygon to Base, Ink, and Optimism, ZNS operates seamlessly across networks.
Every domain minted acts as a unified digital passport, allowing users to interact, deploy, and transact across ecosystems.
This interoperability gives ZNS a clear edge over single-chain projects like ENS or Space ID, which remain limited to one or two ecosystems.
What’s Next: ZNS One — The All-in-One Web3 Hub
The next major milestone is ZNS One, an integrated dashboard that will redefine how users interact with Web3:
- Manage and renew ZNS domains
- Say “GM” daily across 20+ chains
- Mint NFTs directly
- Deploy smart contracts seamlessly
ZNS One will connect identity, interaction, and ownership — powered entirely by the $ZNT token.
