.heart Domain Names
Prelaunch string.heart is a proposed ASCII top-level domain string with a clear emotional and care-led meaning. Publicly announced information identifies Oinkadot as the applicant associated with.heart. ICANN states that applied-for strings are published later in the process, so this string should be treated as prelaunch rather than delegated. (icann.org)
