Today
in The
Lowdown: Sedo
Outbound Premium Broker Mark Ghoriafi has made yet another trip to the
domain sales mountain top. His latest win is Dollars.com in a deal that gives
Mark three of the ten biggest biggest publicly reported domain sales of the year
to date.
Also
inside:
The traditionally dominant .coms have had to share the sales spotlight with surging
.ai domains over the past year but the .coms left everyone in the dust
on our latest bi-weekly Sales Chart,
sweeping 18 of 20 entries with a pair of 6-figure sales leading the way.
Does that mean the .ai boom could be waning?

How
a $3,000 Domain Sale Kept Larry Fischer in The Game and Led to a Legendary
Career Filled With Multi-Million Dollar Deals
|
|
Mild-mannered domain industry pioneer Larry
Fischer has played a key role in many of the biggest domain sales of all
time, including Chat.com at $15.5 million and Home.com at a
undisclosed price but also likely in the 8-figure range (both of those in tandem
with Larry's friend and fellow super broker Andrew Miller). There have
been countless others with Larry's primary partner, Ari Goldberger, as
well solo sales from his base at GetYourDomain.com. As
of this writing, Larry also has 2025's highest publicly reported domain sale of the
year to date in Commerce.com at $2.2 million. So what
is it about this easy going, unassuming guy - a real world Clark Kent -
that turns him into Superman when it's time to close big sales? Full

ICANN
will be launching a second round of new
generic Top
Level Domains (gTLDs) next year,
a follow up to the original 2012 round that
add hundreds of domain extensions to the
Internet. Millions of dollars were spent by
entrepreneurs who dreamed of running their
own TLD. That will again be the case in
round two but long before ICANN launched
their new gTLD program there was (and still
is) another way to run an entire
extension. That path is to get a contract
with a national government to operate and
expand their ccTLD with .ai, .io.
.co, .tv among the successful examples
of that strategy. It is not
easy to make that kind of deal but one of
the latest entrepreneurs to do it (with Cape
Verde's .cv) tells us what it took to
get it done and what his company is doing
with .cv now. Full

Over the past
few years we've seen a number of new
companies built around Web3
technology emerge. From the perspective
of domain registrants, the prospect of
owning decentralized
domains with no renewal fees is
one of the most intriguing aspects of Web3.
The problem has been that Web3 domains have
not been accessible in web browsers like
domains from the current Domain
Name System we have relied on
for the past four decades. In a perfect
world Web2 and Web3 would be interchangeable
and making that happen has become the
mission for many of these new
companies. An interesting thing about
this is that the various Web3 companies are
taking different
approaches to building bridges between
Web 2 and Web 3. To help shed some light on
what is happening in this rapidly growing
arena, we've started a series of profiles of
some of the major players in Web3. In this
installment we give you an inside look at a
surprisingly easy to use system that has
been launched by WebUnited.
