Secure your preferred .degen name before the TLD goes live. .degen is applying through ICANN's next New gTLD round — if successful, it will bridge DNS and Web3 in innovative new ways, giving your domain an identity both on-chain and on-DNS.
The .degen top-level domain has opened pre-registration ahead of its application to ICANN's New gTLD Program.
ICANN Application Window: April 30, 2026 – August 12, 2026
How it works: An application to operate the .degen TLD will be submitted during the ICANN window. If approved by ICANN and the TLD is delegated to the root zone, your pre-reserved domain will be registered and activated.
Refund policy: If the .degen application is not submitted to ICANN, or is submitted but not approved, all pre-registration fees will be refunded minus a small processing fee.

About .degen pre-registration
.degen is a proposed top-level domain (TLD) for the on-chain and crypto community. It is applying through ICANN's next New gTLD round, and if successful, will merge DNS and Web3 in innovative new ways — giving your domain an identity both on-chain and on-DNS.
Pre-registration lets you reserve your preferred .degen domain name before the TLD goes live. Your reservation is held in priority order (first-come, first-served) and will be registered if the TLD is approved and delegated.
The .degen TLD application will be submitted during ICANN's New gTLD application window (April 30 to August 12, 2026). After that, ICANN's review process typically takes 12-24 months, though timelines vary. The TLD will go live after ICANN approval and root zone delegation.
If the application is not submitted to ICANN, or is submitted but not approved, all pre-registration fees are refunded minus a processing fee. You will be notified at each stage of the process.
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is the organization that oversees the global domain name system. All new generic TLDs must be applied for and approved by ICANN before they can be used on the internet.
Yes, the pre-registration fee of $50.00/year covers your reservation. Once the TLD goes live, this fee continues as your annual registration. All standard domain features (WHOIS privacy, DNS management, etc.) are included at no extra cost.
Pre-registrations follow the same transfer policies as live domains. Contact support for assistance with any changes to your reservation.
We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and cryptocurrency payments. All transactions are secure and encrypted.
