Unstoppable Domains
The largest producer and seller of NFT domain names, Unstoppable Domains was looking to make a name for itself while competitors like Ethereum Name Service dominated headlines.

Ditto also secured Unstoppable Domains significant coverage during its most recent funding round.

When MakersPlace approached Ditto in early 2022, the NFT marketplace was looking to distinguish itself among an increasingly competitive space given the rising popularity of NFTs.

Since partnering with Ditto, MakersPlace and its CEO, Silicon Valley veteran Craig Palmer, have been featured and quoted in the likes of Vogue Business, Fortune, and more.
