DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.hodl Domain Names
Pre-launch stringPublicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.hodl. ICANN’s 2026 programme materials explain that applied-for strings are published on Reveal Day after administrative checks, while the root zone database records delegated TLDs only once they are in the root zone. Based on that public context,.hodl should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live delegated TLD.
