.地址
Is .地址 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.地址 is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Beijing Guoxu Network Technology Co., Ltd..
A Chinese word for "address" as a web ending: easy to say, hard to explain, and few projects would make it their main name.
chinese-speaking small businesses and crypto or wallet services wanting a literal "address" suffix, plus speculators buying short generic Chinese words
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.
Nearly the same bet in the same script and the same word class — a plain Chinese generic noun for "where a thing is found online" sold as open namespace to Chinese-language registrants, so it needs exactly the same thing to be true: that native-script registrants will put their primary identity on a script-native locator word instead of .com.
Same bet as 地址: an everyday Chinese infrastructure noun that describes the thing a domain IS rather than a category of business, sold to the whole local market as a generic alternative to Latin-script endings, with the same dependence on Chinese-script addressing being adopted at scale.
Same buyer and same kind of word — an open Chinese-script generic noun from the internet's own vocabulary — but it reads as the medium rather than a locator, so it carries a slightly broader, more institutional positioning than a bare "address".
What a .地址 domain is
.地址 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under AI & tech. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .地址 domain extension real yet?
.地址 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 .地址 domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .地址 name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .地址 was .xn--ses554g, delegated on 10 April 2014.
Is .地址 a real TLD?
Not yet. .地址 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .地址 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). The string 地址 means "address" — a utility word rather than a category or place, so an address under it reads as a tautology ("address.address") unless it is positioned around wallet addresses or physical-location listings; the record shows the same applicant lists a wallet-themed string (钱包) as a replacement, which hints at a crypto or wallet positioning, but the block gives no stated purpose, so this is inference. By analogy, existing Chinese-script generic gTLDs have generally seen thin primary-identity use, with registrations driven by promotions and defensive buys and little aftermarket, and browser, app and email handling of IDN endings in the Chinese market remains a practical friction (analogy, no figures). It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no evidence of volume or price-driven registration demand and the brand signal is weak even for Chinese-market buyers who already have established Latin-script and Chinese IDN alternatives. It is not in the 1-9 band because the Chinese-language market is large, the word is short and universally understood there, and a wallet-address or location-listing use case could sustain a small real niche. Main market uncertainty: whether any Chinese IDN generic ending can win primary-identity use at all in the next 5 years given registrar and platform support, versus remaining a defensive or novelty registration.
