DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.dragon Domain Names
Application disclosed; not delegated.dragon is a proposed new generic top-level domain linked to the 2026 ICANN round. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation and Oinkadot as claimants associated with the string, so it should be treated as prelaunch rather than live. ICANN has said the 2026 round is open and that Reveal Day will publish the final list of applied-for strings later in the process. (xiyou.domains)
