.ada, .agent, .aio, .anime, .ape, .avax, .avocat, .bitcoin, .chess, .indigenous, .manga, .mask, .mcp, .sol, .src, .sui

ok here's the SNL sketch

.fart

there is actually an applicant (Endpoint Domains, Inc.) who paid $227k for .fart as a primary string! it references an old SNL sketch with Chris Parnell

they also applied for .big, .ftw, .happy, .nsfw, .private, and .punk, among others

.jazz

there are many cozy strings out there (joining existing ones like .garden) - and only one jazzy applicant

.human

6 applicants - not as many as the 12 for .agent, but hey 2:1 agent:human ratio not bad

.bbq & .gym

in a world where gTLDs succeed, your local barbecue joint will be something.bbq and your gym will be something.gym

(2 applicants for .bbq and 5 for .gym)

.btw

a good string, and only one applicant! joins existing TLDs like .fyi, .info, and .how great for mini infosites

also plenty of crypto ones

.btc, .bitcoin, .coin, .chain, .crypto, .block, .base

seeing lots of ai-related strings (unsurprisingly)

.agent, .agentic, .agnt, .agi, .asi, .llm, .prompt, .model, and many more

OpenAI's 15 are:

.agent, .agi, .asi, .chatgpt, .codex, .daybreak, .deploy, .evals, .gpt, .mcp, .model, .oai, .openai, .skill, .voice

Google's 39 includes:

.agent, .alphabet, .api, .ask, .browser, .gemini, .intelligence, .maps, .sheets, .slides, .teach, .waymo, .waze

.superintelligence

one of if not the longest string - there's also .bankofamerica, .newbalance, .metaglasses, .metaverse, .corporation, .organization, .ralphlauren, .registeredagent, .stradivarius

And speaking of XYZ, looks like they applied for the second most strings, including:

.bro, .agent, .beach, .chef, .crypto, .scam, .sus, .street, .omg, .king, .lake, .more, .zzz, and some raunchy ones like .ass

Speaking of LFG, looks like they applied for the most strings - 158 primary strings, which costs ~$36 million in application fees alone

.agi, .api, .bad, .big, .any, .all, .btc, .internet, .llm, .boom, .factory, .good, .god, .learn, .luck, .pod, .merch, .robot, .yes, .url, and of course, .lfg

.api could be a bidding war - 10 applicants including Google, LFG, and XYZ (of .xyz fame, plus 34 other existing TLDs)

.taylorswift

huh! the applicant is "TAS Rights Management, LLC" - is that Taylor? will swifties get fan domains like ilove.taylorswift or somesuch?
