.供应链
Is .供应链 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody is chasing .供应链, as of 7 October 2026. One applicant claimed it and is out. We keep the entry on the record either way.

Chinese for "supply chain": a descriptive label for logistics firms, but that market runs on .com/.cn, so serious use should stay rare.
chinese-language supply-chain, logistics, sourcing and manufacturing businesses wanting a descriptive Chinese-script address — mostly for marketing microsites or defensive registrations rather than primary identities
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round; a Chinese-script IDN (“supply chain”, A-label xn--vsqw87a974b). Their catalog line: “The network behind every finished product.”
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 in the same script and market: a multi-character Chinese common noun naming a B2B business function, wagering that the firms who perform that function will move their primary identity onto a category namespace rather than a .cn/.com.
Same word-class and buyer — an unbranded trade/procurement generic sold to the companies that supply things — but it is a Latin-script one-word category rather than a CJK compound aimed at a single-language commercial internet.
Also a CJK generic naming a commerce channel that merchants would adopt as their identity, but it points at consumer-facing selling rather than the industrial/B2B procurement layer the target claims.
What a .供应链 domain is
.供应链 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody is chasing .供应链 today. The applicants that claimed it are out.
Is the .供应链 domain extension real yet?
.供应链 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 .供应链 domain?
You can’t yet. A .供应链 name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .供应链 was .招聘, delegated on 24 January 2018.
Is .供应链 a real TLD?
Not yet. .供应链 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because an applicant claimed .供应链 and is no longer in it. We keep the entry, and every entry on this page links to its source.

- By analogy, Chinese-script IDN TLDs with broad business meanings (.公司, .网络, .商城 and similar) have seen weak primary-identity adoption: Chinese firms overwhelmingly brand on ASCII .com/.cn, and IDN suffixes are hard to type, share, and use in email. The target buyer here is a B2B logistics or sourcing company — a conservative segment even less likely than consumer brands to adopt an IDN as its main address (analogy-based inference). Resolvability inside China typically depends on regulatory accreditation, and whether this string obtains it is unknown, which caps confidence in any mainland demand. The applicant's large multi-string portfolio (323 strings, 69 Chinese-script IDNs, per the facts block) is consistent with breadth-first speculation rather than a single-category push, which does not by itself create end-user demand. Band 10-29: above 1-9 because supply chain is a real, large Chinese industry with a plausible thin defensive/marketing market; below 30-49 because there is no sign of volume or price-driven registration demand for a multi-character B2B IDN, and the brand signal to its own buyers is weak. Main market uncertainty: whether Chinese-script IDN acceptance among mainland businesses materially improves over the next 5 years.
