Unstoppable Domains and Smobler Announce .SuperNOVA: A New Digital Identity for a Global Festival of Collaboration
Singapore, Singapore, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unstoppable Domains, an ICANN-accredited registrar and leader in Web3 digital identity with over 4.5 million domains registered, today announced a strategic partnership with Smobler, the organization behind the world-class NOVA event. Together, they are launching .SuperNOVA, a new top-level domain that celebrates collaboration across companies, communities, and technologies globally.
Just as a nova is a celestial event where a star suddenly becomes much brighter, appearing as a newly visible star, .SuperNOVA is designed to spotlight the brilliance of collaboration — among companies, among people, and among technologies like AI and Web3.
CEO & Founder Loretta Chen has been recognized as a trailblazing technopreneur, winning accolades from UBS, AWS, Vogue and Forbes. She was selected for the inaugural Meta Llama APAC Incubator, NVIDIA Inception program as well as INSEAD’s latest AI Venture Lab, “NOVA has always been about connection — people with people, culture with technology, and communities with opportunities. Through this collaboration with Unstoppable Domains, we are extending that mission into the digital realm with .SuperNOVA, giving our community a permanent place to innovate, shine and thrive.”
Born in 2023 as an official side event during TOKEN2049 Singapore, NOVA has since expanded into a global festival experience, from SXSW in Austin, Texas to Honolulu Tech Week in Hawaii. Each edition brings together communities across crypto, Web3, arts, culture, and technology, blending in-real-life (IRL) gatherings with metaverse activations to foster new forms of collaboration.
NOVA has hosted world-class partners and participants, from cultural icons Champ Medici and Agoria, to industry leaders such as Animoca Brands, AWS, PwC, among others. Past editions have also featured cultural showcases such as Singapore artist y/x’s “Light and Brilliance” exhibition commemorating Lee Kuan Yew’s centenary, and Cobbleland: Austin, a metaverse experience launched with the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce.
The introduction of .SuperNOVA marks a new chapter in this journey, giving communities and creators a powerful way to own their presence across both Web2 and Web3. Just as NOVA brings people together through festivals, .SuperNOVA provides a unifying digital address where innovation, creativity, and collaboration can live online.
“.SuperNOVA is more than a TLD. It’s a digital home for one of the world’s most unique cultural and technology festivals,” said Sandy Carter, Chief Business Officer at Unstoppable Domains. “Together with NOVA, we are proud to provide the infrastructure that allows communities to truly own their identity in the blockchain world.”
This year, NOVA returns to Singapore as a milestone celebration of the nation’s 60th anniversary. Proudly presented by the New York Stock Exchange, in collaboration with Gemini, Nifty Gateway Studio, Skadden, Michigan Ross Executive Education, and Skypoly, the event will welcome over 120 invited guests — an esteemed mix of C-suite executives, founders, investors, and industry leaders — highlighting the convergence of heritage and innovation in emerging technology, digital asset and institutional regulators.
