Stacked's Journey from .gg to .com: Setting the Stage for a User-Friendly Gaming Experience
By Tsani Gramatikova access_time 2 min read

Stacked, the newly founded video streaming platform for gaming-related content, aims to be the Twitch of the web3 community. Available on both mobile and desktop, the platform promises to revolutionize the gaming world with its unique features and user-friendly interface.

Expected to launch in early 2023, Stacked has already secured a whopping $13 million in funding from several investors, including Eddy Lu, founder of Goat.com, and Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale.com. This early support is a testament to the innovative idea behind Stacked and its potential for success.


Our view is that the technology today is not ready for a fully on-chain decentralized streaming platform. Mid-to-long term, we do believe there’s a lot of opportunity internationally, mostly because the streaming platforms in these other markets are not as entrenched.

Before announcing its Series A funding round, Stacked made sure to secure its exact-match domain, Stacked.com. This premium domain was previously owned by Stacked Restaurants, a casual dining brand with a handful of locations in California. The company transitioned from the .com domain to Stacked.restaurant in early 2022, leaving Stacked.com open for the video streaming platform.

Stacked originally operated on the Stacked.gg domain name. The .gg extension, popular in the gaming community, is not as relatable or trustworthy for a brand looking to reach a wider, non-crypto-savvy audience. 

In the case of Stacked, securing the exact-match domain, Stacked.com, helped the company to establish its online identity and secure the brand, sending a strong message of confidence to customers and investors. The premium domain allows Stacked to fully control its online image and presence, and establish a stronger brand image in a very competitive market. By operating on the exact brand match domain name Stacked.com, Stacked aligns with its long-term vision of being inviting, relatable, and trustworthy for its users.
