D3 will lead the effort to prepare and submit the application after the majority (91.68%) of the ApeCoin community voted in favor of the proposal.
The ApeCoin community unanimously approved a proposal to register “.APE” as a new top-level domain (TLD) with ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the world’s authority on IP addresses and domain names.
In line with ICANN’s plan to implement new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) by Q2 2026, the ApeCoin decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) proposed working with Web3 domains specialist D3 to create the .APE top-level domain (TLD) as a real-world asset (RWA).
A majority (91.68%) of the ApeCoin community voted in favor of the proposal, while 8.32% decided to vote against it.
