What you're looking for is an alternative DNS root. Although I despise the blockchain, crypo and web3 world with every fiber of my being due to the entire scam ecosystem built into everything, decentralized DNS could be one of the only legit applications of blockchains as a technology. No court can order blockchains to take down domains, much like how no court can order Bitcoin to reverse transactions. You don't have the private key to change the domain? Too bad, fuck off.
Could you explain your complaints with blockchains and web3? Genuinely curious
Not the lemming you asked, but as far as I can tell the issue is that due to the unregulatable nature of blockchain, scammers like SBF are almost an inevitability with the tech as long as we are trying to use it to make money out of thin air. In the long term this will only further erode public trust of new technologies.
Thanks
