.humanity
Is .humanity a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .humanity in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Radix named .humanity as the replacement string of its .asi application.
A cause-word address that suits campaigns and human-centred projects, but few serious organisations will make it their main home.
nonprofits, humanitarian campaigns and human-centred AI or ethics projects wanting a cause-word address, plus speculators betting on the AI-era "for humanity" framing
No applications recorded for this TLD yet.
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet on an abstract virtue word as a banner for the do-good sector — no defined registrant class owns it, so it has to be sold on meaning and affiliation rather than on being the obvious name for a business type.
Aims at the same cause-world buyer putting its primary identity on a moral-purpose word, but it is the sector's institutional label with an identifiable registrant pool, where the target is a looser ideal anyone may claim.
The same bet that an unownable, planet-scale abstraction carries enough aspirational weight to be an identity for global and humanitarian causes, with the same risk that a word belonging to everyone is a credential for no one.
What a .humanity domain is
.humanity is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Culture. Nobody has applied for .humanity in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .humanity domain extension real yet?
.humanity is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .humanity domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .humanity name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .humanity was .giving, delegated on 6 August 2015.
Is .humanity a real TLD?
Not yet. .humanity is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .humanity as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), at its top. The string is an eight-letter abstract noun that reads as a slogan suffix rather than a namespace: a registrant can say 'we work for humanity' but 'name.humanity' does not describe a category, a place or a product the way .shop or .nyc do. The closest analogies are cause-word TLDs such as .charity, .foundation, .ngo and .earth, which in my qualitative recollection (analogy, no figures) have drawn modest, mission-driven registrations while nonprofits overwhelmingly kept .org as their primary identity; and broad aspirational words such as .life and .world, which gathered registrations mostly on promotional pricing with a thin aftermarket. .humanity is narrower than .life or .world, so I expect it to underperform them on volume (analogy). One tailwind is the current discourse around AI and human-centred technology, where 'for humanity' is a common framing, which could drive campaign microsites and some brand-adjacent registrations; that is event-driven demand of the kind the 10-29 band describes. Verified facts: the only recorded application is from Radix (Radix Technologies Inc SEZC), filed as a standard application and recorded as a replacement string for .asi on the ICANN Reveal Day list of 7 October 2026, with no contention on the record. If the applicant brings established registrar distribution and promotional pricing, registrations on price become more likely, which is why the score sits at the top of the band rather than lower. Not in 30-49: I do not expect sustained volume even on price, because the word does not name anything a buyer sells or is, and the brand signal for a primary identity is weak. Not in 1-9: there is a real audience of humanitarian, ethics and human-centred-AI projects, and the word is memorable and positive, so a market exists even if shallow. Main market uncertainty: whether the human-centred-AI and ethics movement treats .humanity as a credible identity rather than a campaign tagline; a few visible flagship adopters would move it into the 30-49 band.
