DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.base Domain Names
Prelaunch / applicant-ledThe.base string is a proposed ASCII top-level domain associated with Link Freedom Group in publicly announced material. It is not shown in IANA’s Root Zone Database, so it should be treated as prelaunch rather than delegated or generally available. The name naturally suggests a foundation, core layer or starting point, which makes it a strong fit for identity-led naming and platform communities.
