The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, said its latest round of generic top-level domain applications drew 1,615 submissions, with AI-related strings standing out as one of the busiest areas of competition. Among them, the .agent suffix drew 13 applicants, including OpenAI, Meta, a registry owned by Google, and iPollo. OpenAI separately applied for 15 top-level domains in this round, including .gpt and .chatgpt, while Anthropic applied for .claude. The filing wave also extended into crypto-related strings, with .btc and .bnb receiving applications from multiple parties. The update comes from an official ICANN announcement cited by Odaily, and highlights how both AI firms and crypto-linked applicants are competing for control of high-profile internet naming assets in the new gTLD cycle.
