The Cardano Foundation said its application for the .ada top-level domain has advanced to the next stage of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’ new generic top-level domain program. The bid previously received about 75% support in Cardano community governance voting, according to the announcement carried by Techub News and attributed to Wu Blockchain.
If approved, .ada could be used in the traditional internet domain system. The foundation said the domain may also support use cases tied to simplified wallet addresses, decentralized identity, and tokenized domains. ICANN will now review the application’s technical compliance and operational capabilities. Formal authorization for this round of top-level domains is expected to be issued on a rolling basis between 2028 and 2030.
