.doubleeight Domain Names

Prelaunch, not delegated

The.doubleeight string is a proposed new gTLD associated with Journey To The West Corporation in publicly announced ICANN 2026 round material and the applicant’s own published portfolio. It is not delegated, so there is no live registry to register names in yet. The string’s appeal is likely to sit in its distinctive numeric branding, its memorability, and its fit for projects that want a concise, premium-looking identity with East-West commercial resonance. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.doubleeight. (icann.org)
