What each edition covers.

Four sections, the same every quarter, so you can compare one edition with the next.

1
Registry activityHow onchain registries moved over the quarter: registrations, transfers and subname issuance, described in aggregate and in trend.
2
Notable developmentsChanges in registries, resolution support in wallets and browsers, and standards such as ERC-8004 that affect what a TLD can do.
3
Brand-protection considerationsPatterns legal and IP teams should know about, framed as questions to raise with your counsel. No legal advice.
4
Market TLDsWhich sectors are forming around generic TLDs, how operators are using subnames, and what that means for value.

What it never contains.

The report follows the same rules of engagement as every file.

Named TLDs tied to an organization, a holder or a wallet
Lists of available TLDs or anything resembling a catalog
Details of any file, open or closed
Price predictions or invented figures
