Every .com.au you've ever had — you've been renting it. Queensland Foundation built something permanently different.
Every year, you pay. Every year, you hope you remembered to renew. Miss a payment? Gone. The registrar can take it back, sell it, or let it expire. You never truly owned it.
One payment. Your address is recorded onchain permanently. No registrar. No renewal. No expiry date. It belongs to you — like real estate, but for your digital identity.
