In parallel, SourceLess introduces the wNFT platform, a gateway to a new era of digital ownership. Going beyond digital art, this platform offers a diverse range of NFTs, each representing lifetime ownership of an STR.domain with real-world benefits. Additionally, the platform hosts valuable utility NFT collections from esteemed partners that bridge the physical and digital realms, providing tangible value to its users.

Through the wNFT platform, users will have the opportunity to acquire STR.domains, which play a central role in the SourceLess ecosystem. These domains offer lifetime ownership, a stable and secure online presence, complete control over digital identity, and the ability to tokenize businesses. They enable the creation of websites or applications with simple commands, boast zero transaction costs, and provide tools for scalability and communication within the ecosystem.

Web3 Berlin 2023 serves as the perfect event for SourceLess to unveil its groundbreaking technologies and marks the first step in establishing its comprehensive ecosystem.
