Queensland Foundation Addresses Are Now Live on Shaka Deal — Get Paid at Your Onchain Address

Queensland Foundation addresses are now live on Shaka Deal. Every .queensland, .qld, .brisbane, .gold-coast and .surfersparadise address can now receive onchain payments — settled and distributed instantly.


Queensland Foundation addresses are now live on Shaka Deal. Every permanent onchain address in the Queensland namespace can now receive real payments — settled onchain and distributed to every party in a deal, instantly.

Your address does more than point somewhere

Until now, a Queensland Foundation address was a permanent digital identity: a name you own onchain, for life, without renewals. That has not changed. What has changed is what the address can do.

With Shaka Deal, a Queensland address becomes a working payment destination. You can send a single link, have a client confirm, and settle a deal directly to the address you own — kooky.surfersparadise, studio.brisbane, agency.gold-coast. The address you claimed is the address that gets paid.

What Shaka Deal is

Shaka Deal is a payment router built on Ethereum. It routes the full amount of a transaction onchain and distributes it to everyone in the deal at once — the recipient, and any parties attached to it — in a single settled transaction. There are no annual processor fees on the name, no rented checkout, and no separate account to reconcile. The deal settles onchain and the money lands where the address lives.

Live today, on mainnet

This is not a demonstration. The integration is live on Ethereum mainnet. Every Queensland Foundation TLD works as a payment destination on Shaka Deal today — .queensland, .qld, .brisbane, .gold-coast and .surfersparadise. An address you own for life can now receive payments for that same life, with no renewal on either side.

Who it is for

Any Queenslander, business or organisation that holds a Queensland address can use it to get paid: the surf school on the Gold Coast invoicing from its .gold-coast address, the studio in Brisbane settling a project, the sole trader in Cairns closing a sale, the agency routing a payment to every party in one transaction. Real estate closings, professional services, creative work, community fundraising — the same rail settles all of them onchain.

See it in action

The integration is explained, with a live example, at queensland.foundation/shaka-deal. Queensland addresses can be claimed from $5 at queensland.foundation/tld.
