The Basics

WHAT IS QUEENSLAND FOUNDATION?

Queensland Foundation is a project dedicated to building Queensland's permanent digital identity onchain. We secured the TLDs that belong to Queensland — .queensland, .qld, .brisbane, .surfersparadise, .gold-coast, and .brisbane2032 — and made them available to every Queenslander from $5, permanently.

Our mission: one permanent digital address for every Queenslander. Not rented. Owned.

A TLD (Top-Level Domain) is the extension at the end of a web address. .com, .org, and .com.au are traditional TLDs. .queensland, .qld, and .brisbane are Queensland Foundation's onchain TLDs.

When you claim a Queensland Foundation address — like yourname.queensland — "yourname" is your SLD (Second-Level Domain), and .queensland is the TLD we own and manage.

Onchain means your domain ownership is recorded on the blockchain — a permanent, public, tamper-proof record. Unlike traditional domains where a registrar holds your domain on your behalf, an onchain domain is stored in your crypto wallet and controlled entirely by you.

No registrar can take it. No renewal can expire it. It's yours permanently — like owning a piece of digital real estate, not renting it.

Queensland Foundation currently offers six TLDs: .queensland (the flagship), .qld (official abbreviation), .brisbane (the capital), .surfersparadise (iconic destination), .gold-coast (Australia's playground), and .brisbane2032 (reserved for the Olympic Games).

More TLDs are being secured. Stay tuned.

Ownership

WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY OWN?

Yes. Once you claim a Queensland Foundation address, it's recorded onchain permanently. There are no renewal fees, no expiry dates, and no registrar who can revoke it. Your domain is yours — like property, not a subscription.

Yes. Your Queensland Foundation domain is a fully transferable digital asset. You can sell it, gift it, or pass it down — just like any other onchain asset. Full control, no intermediary, no permission required.

Your Queensland domain can be used to: host a website, create a permanent digital identity, receive crypto payments using your domain as a payment address, build a DAO or community hub, trade as a digital asset, or simply hold as a permanent piece of Queensland's digital namespace.

More features — including onchain payments and resale markets — are coming as the ecosystem develops.

Queensland Foundation domains are Web3 / onchain domains. They work natively in Web3-compatible browsers and wallets. Standard browser support is expanding as Web3 infrastructure matures — this is an emerging technology and adoption is growing rapidly.

For website hosting on traditional browsers, integration tools are available via Freename.

Buying

HOW TO CLAIM YOUR ADDRESS.

Queensland Foundation domains start from $5 — a one-time payment. No annual renewal fees, no hidden costs. The price varies slightly by TLD and domain name, but our commitment is that every Queenslander can afford their permanent digital address.

Domains are purchased via Freename — Queensland Foundation's onchain marketplace. Visit queensland.domains, brisbane.domains, or qld.domains to search for your address and claim it instantly.

You can pay by card or crypto. A wallet is recommended for full onchain ownership features, but not required to get started.

A wallet is not required to purchase, but it is recommended for full onchain ownership benefits — including transferability, payment identity, and direct control of your domain without intermediaries.

If you don't have a wallet yet, you can still claim your domain via card payment and set up your wallet later.

Absolutely. You can claim as many Queensland addresses as you want — across any of our TLDs. Many early adopters are claiming their name across multiple TLDs (yourname.queensland, yourname.qld, yourname.brisbane) to secure their identity across the full Queensland namespace.

Technical

UNDER THE HOOD.

Queensland Foundation domains are registered onchain via Freename, which operates across multiple blockchains including Polygon and other EVM-compatible networks. Your domain is recorded as an NFT in your wallet — permanent, immutable, and verifiable.

Freename is the onchain domain marketplace and infrastructure provider that powers Queensland Foundation's TLDs. It's the platform where you search, buy, and manage your Queensland domain. Queensland Foundation owns the TLDs; Freename provides the technical infrastructure.

Yes. One of the key features of onchain domains is the ability to use your domain as a payment address. Instead of sharing a long wallet address, you can simply say "send to yourname.queensland." This feature works with compatible wallets and is expanding across the Web3 ecosystem.

Brisbane 2032

.BRISBANE2032 — THE GAMES.

.brisbane2032 is Queensland Foundation's permanent onchain TLD secured for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is reserved for institutional stakeholders with a direct connection to the Games — including organising committees, official sponsors, government bodies, and media partners.

.brisbane2032 is not available for general public registration. Access is by institutional enquiry only. If your organisation has a legitimate connection to the 2032 Games, please contact us to discuss access.
