1. Two Common Mistakes Domain Buyers Make

✅ Mistake #1: Assuming Domain Prices Stay the Same
• Thinking “.com domains will always be available at today’s price” is a big misconception.
• As businesses grow, domain prices increase proportionally.
• Later, you may have to pay 10x or more or even find it impossible to acquire the domain.
• Example: OpenSea initially used OpenSea.io, but as they grew, they eventually had to buy OpenSea.com at a high price.

✅ Mistake #2: Assuming Good Domains Will Always Be Available
• Short, brandable domains attract multiple companies.
• If a competitor buys the domain first, you may lose your chance forever.
• If a competitor secures the domain, it causes brand confusion and redirects traffic to their business.
• Conclusion: Securing the .com early is essential.


2. The AriWallet.com and AriChain Case

I own AriWallet.com and receive a massive amount of traffic and inquiry emails every day.

📩 Monthly inquiry emails: Around 150
📊 Weekly visits: Around 419 (293 users)
📈 Estimated annual traffic: 20,000+ visits, 14,000+ users
💡 AriChain’s growth will likely further increase this traffic.

AriChain (@Arichain_) is preparing a Layer 1 network and is actively launching AriWallet, airdrops,
and private funding before its mainnet release.

🚀 Current situation:
• Interest in AriChain is rapidly increasing
• The community and project are expanding
• The value of AriWallet.com is continuously rising

💡 What if AriChain had secured the .com early?
They could avoid paying a much higher price later or losing the opportunity completely, just like OpenSea.


3. Smart Domain Buying Strategies

💡 Early Investment Strategy:
• Startups often have limited initial capital, so they need flexible negotiation methods.
• Securing the domain before prices skyrocket is the best approach.

💰 How to Secure a Domain:
✔ Immediate purchase: Pay upfront and secure the domain.
✔ Long-term payment plan: Negotiate 12-48 month installment payments.
✔ Hybrid payment: 20% upfront cash + remaining amount in tokens.
✔ Token transaction: Use project-issued tokens for domain payment (ideal for blockchain projects).
✔ Airdrop method: If a mainnet launch is planned, offering airdrop tokens as part of the deal can work.

🎯 Key takeaway:
If you don’t secure your domain now,
🚨 you may end up paying a much higher price or losing the opportunity forever.
Opportunities don’t come twice!


4. Conclusion – Securing a Domain is Crucial for Business Success
