DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.swap Domain Names

Prelaunch and contested

The.swap extension suggests exchange, substitution and bilateral trade. Publicly announced information identifies more than one organisation as associated with the string, so it is best treated as a contested proposed gTLD rather than a live domain space. ICANN’s 2026 round materials confirm that applications move through reveal, contention and evaluation stages before any delegation. (icann.org)
