Web3 Domain Cost vs Traditional Domain Renewals
A traditional domain is rented: you pay a registrar every year for as long as you keep it. A Web3 domain is bought once and owned in your wallet, with no yearly renewal fees from FrenchQuarter.TECH. The cost to compare is the one-time price plus any network (gas) fees for minting or transfers, against years of renewals.

What are gas fees?
Gas fees are network transaction fees paid to process blockchain operations such as minting or transferring a domain. They are a hidden cost to check before buying.
