DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.tldr Domain Names

Application announced; not delegated

The.tldr string is a proposed generic top-level domain associated with publicly announced applicant information. ICANN’s published 2026 Round materials show the application window opened on 30 April 2026, and ICANN later announced the round had closed with more than 1,600 applications. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.tldr. The string is not shown in the IANA Root Zone Database, so it should be treated as a proposed extension rather than an active delegated TLD. (icann.org)
