Why Lethean?

+

Not another corporation selling domains. A community-owned registrar where the customers are the shareholders.

+
+ +
+
+

Community Interest Company

+

+ Lethean is a UK-registered CIC — a legal structure where the community controls the company. The 8-pac (community wallet holders) vote on all decisions. The company must comply. This isn't DAO governance theatre — it's UK company law, enforceable by the Officer of Social Enterprise. +

+
+
+

Blockchain-Native

+

+ Your .lthn name isn't a row in our database — it's an alias on a live blockchain with hybrid PoW/PoS consensus. DNS records live on the ITNS sidechain. Your identity is cryptographically yours. We can't take it away even if we wanted to. +

+
+
+

Pay With Bitcoin

+

+ Self-hosted BTCPay Server. No credit card processors, no Stripe fees, no chargebacks, no payment data stored. Your BTC goes directly to the project. No middlemen. +

+
+
+

Open Source

+

+ EUPL-1.2 licensed. The chain, the tools, the registrar, the gateway software — all open source. Fork it, audit it, run your own. The code is at forge.lthn.ai. +

+
+
+

Wholesale Pricing

+

+ SSL certificates at wholesale from GoGetSSL. DNS hosting powered by ClouDNS at cost-plus. No 10x markup on commodity services. A CIC doesn't need to maximise profit — it needs to serve the community. +

+
+
+

Decentralised Infrastructure

+

+ Proxy and VPN services run on independently-operated gateway nodes, not our servers. We route traffic, we don't see it. Gateway operators earn LTHN per GB served. No single point of failure. +

+
+
+ +
+
