Prelaunch and contested

.matrix is a proposed new generic top-level domain with a concept-led meaning that points to networks, data, systems and digital interfaces. Publicly announced information identifies both Link Freedom Group and Starlight Registry (Namecheap) as applicants associated with.matrix, so the string should be treated as contested and not yet delegated.

Who is associated with the application?

Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group and Starlight Registry (Namecheap) as applicants associated with.matrix.

Can I register a.matrix domain now?

Not at this stage. Registration would depend on future delegation and registry launch decisions.

What kind of sites could use.matrix?

It may suit AI, data, infrastructure, design and concept-led digital projects.

The application process includes public posting and contention-set stages before any possible delegation.
