Every guide just says it's your human-readable crypto address! Okay, cool. But what are the advanced or underrated uses for those of us already past Crypto 101? I'm talking about using it as a decentralized website host what's the best stack for that?, setting up subdomains for different projects or DAO roles, or using it for verifiable credentials. What's a powerful, non-obvious way you've configured your .eth or .crypto domain that more people should know about?

One underrated use is as your universal ‘login’ and reputation anchor across dApps. Instead of connecting with a fresh, anonymous wallet each time, I use my main Freename domain (like myname.web3). Over time, the age and on-chain activity linked to that name build a form of trust. Some communities use this for gated access. For the decentralized site, the trick is linking your domain to IPFS via the ‘Content Hash’ record in your domain’s dashboard. Freename’s interface makes this pretty straightforward, you just paste your IPFS hash. It turns your domain from just a payment pointer into your actual web3 homepage.
