All Registrars Will Now Offer The Domain Industry’s First Ever Bitcoin Reward

Starting August 1, all new registrants of a .locker domain name will be eligible to receive a Bitcoin reward through the Digital Asset Reward Engine!

Orange Domains, the domain registry behind .locker, is thrilled to announce that all new .locker registrants will now be eligible for a Bitcoin reward! Starting August 1, 2025, all ICANN-accredited registrars will be participating in the Digital Asset Reward Engine (DARE), and industry-first promotion that rewards .locker registrants with $5 in Bitcoin when they claim their Web3 digital identity.

$5 in Bitcoin may not sound like much, but Bitcoin is a real-world digital asset with a market cap of $2.3 trillion USD. Often referred to as digital gold, Bitcoin has experienced rapid growth this year as financial institutions, government agencies, and businesses have started to dip their toes into the Web3 ecosystem. In July 2025, Bitcoin’s price soared to $122,980, an all-time high since the digital asset’s launch in 2009. We are now on the cusp of mass adoption of blockchain technology, and .locker is making it easier than ever for customers to get on board with a seamless onramp to the world of Web3. It takes just a few clicks to mint a .locker digital identity on the Bitcoin blockchain, configure a digital wallet, and become eligible for the Bitcoin reward. As an appreciating asset in a bullish market, getting started with Bitcoin today can pay off tomorrow.

FAQs

How does it work?

New registrants of .locker domain names will be prompted to claim their Web3 digital identity in a post-registration email. If completed within 14 days of registration and as long as the domain has surpassed the 5-day AGP, registrants will receive a $5 Bitcoin reward in their .locker digital wallet.

Why is it a game-changer?

.locker is more than just a domain name - it’s a gateway to a secure, decentralized identity and now it comes with real digital value attached thanks to the DARE program.

Where can I register a .locker domain name to receive my reward?

.locker has a growing network of ICANN-accredited registrars, and all registrars will be offering the Bitcoin reward from August 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

What if I want to receive a Bitcoin reward before August 1, 2025?
