No-reserve auctions for 23 Domain Endings
This event allows any qualified businesses or members of the public to acquire one or more of the highly-coveted Top Level Domain assets below, also known as domain endings:
The internet’s blockchain
Cryptocurrency has Bitcoin, Etherium, and ChainLink. Top Level Domains, like .com, .link, .photo, and .game, are the naming equivalents that allow any number of Second Level Domains, known simply as “domain names,” to be minted inside that namespace. To own a TLD is to become a member of an elite club that makes up the building blocks of the internet. Millions of domain names are registered each month by internet users to start websites, send emails, as investments, and more.

Dependable revenue streams with upside
Each Top Level Domain generates its own subscription-based revenue stream. TLD owners are the keepers of their kingdoms, governed only by the customary laws of their communities and the industry regulator, ICANN.
Without limitation by the seller, purchasers will have the ability to further develop these extensions, adjust pricing to increase uptake, and monetize registry-owned inventory and premium names. Top Level Domain operators are free to create and use unlimited domains within their namespaces.

Breaking new ground
Due to their scarcity, the sale of any Top Level Domain on the open market is considered extraordinary. These valuable pieces of online real estate rarely trade hands. When they do, transactions are almost exclusively via closed or private deals. UNR is setting new precedent by democratizing its valuable portfolio of domain extensions and making them available for purchase by any qualified bidder.
