.trx
Is .trx a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.trx is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is TRON.
A crypto-ticker namespace tied to one blockchain's community; useful inside that world, thin and speculative outside it.
tron-ecosystem projects, wallets, dapps and token launches wanting a chain-native address, plus crypto speculators collecting ticker-shaped names
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 as .trx: a vowel-less three-letter mark that means nothing to a general audience and has no generic demand, so it only works if one owner already holds the letters as its public shorthand and can drive every visit itself.
A ticker-style three-letter compression of a single corporate identity — the same wager that initials alone can carry a primary identity, differing only in that its letters resolve to a known full name while .trx's are opaque.
Also an abbreviation-as-identity play where the string's entire value is borrowed from the applicant's existing recognition of those three letters, with zero fallback as a category word if that recognition is thin.
What a .trx domain is
.trx is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Crypto. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .trx domain extension real yet?
.trx is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .trx domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .trx name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .trx was .srt, delegated on 28 July 2016.
Is .trx a real TLD?
Not yet. .trx is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .trx is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), upper end. The string is the ticker symbol of the TRON network's token, and the single application on the record is from TRON (Golden Siv Technology Limited), filed as a standard (not brand) application, so the TLD would most plausibly be positioned as an open namespace for the TRON ecosystem. Real demand exists: a chain-native TLD gives projects, wallets and token launches on that chain a recognisable address, and crypto communities have shown they will register identity names at volume when a naming system is tied to their chain (by analogy: chain-native naming systems outside the DNS root have built genuine communities and aftermarkets, but their value tracks the chain's own market cycle rather than general web demand). It is not in the 30-49 band because a one-chain ticker string has no pull beyond that community, serious projects on any chain still default to generic TLDs for their primary identity, demand would be event-driven (market cycles, token launches) rather than sustained, and the string carries unrelated meanings (a transaction abbreviation, a fitness-equipment brand, a file extension) that dilute rather than widen its brand signal. It is not in the 1-9 band because there is a real, identifiable buyer group and a sponsoring ecosystem that could drive registrations on day one. Main market uncertainty: whether addresses on this TLD would become usable as on-chain identities (wallet/address resolution inside the ecosystem's own tooling) rather than plain web addresses — that integration is what separates a vanity ticker from a genuine utility namespace, and the record says nothing about it. Secondary uncertainty: whether registrations are open to the public or restricted to the operator's ecosystem partners; a restricted policy would push the score toward the bottom of the band. Figures on TRON's user base, token market size, or crypto-TLD registration volumes are unknown here and not asserted.
