Is your TLD ready to sell?
Eight questions about the TLD you hold: the string, its history, your proof of ownership and who would want it. Your TLD Readiness Score updates as you answer. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
A good TLD can still arrive badly.
Buyers pay for a clean string, a clean history and a clean handover. A TLD that has been listed, split into subnames nobody tracked, or held in a wallet you cannot sign from is harder to place at the price it deserves.
This score shows what a buyer's counsel will ask about, before anyone asks. It reads only your answers. It does not look up your TLD and it is not a valuation. For a figure and a buyer map in writing, request a private valuation.

How to read your score
- Below 40, not ready yet. Fix the basics first: proof of ownership, a clear record of any subnames, no live listing.
- 40 to 64, almost. The TLD can be valued. Expect questions on the points you lost before any approach goes out.
- 65 to 84, ready to value. A private valuation and a buyer map are the next step.
- 85 and above, ready for a mandate. Clean string, clean history, provable ownership and named buyers. A sell-side mandate can start.
Readiness is not price. A TLD can score well and still have a narrow market, or score lower and hold real value for one buyer. Only a valuation answers the price question.
Questions about the score
Does this score tell me what my TLD is worth?
No. It scores how ready the TLD is to be valued and sold, based only on your answers. A private valuation by Hush Partners gives you a figure, the reasoning and the buyers who matter, in writing.
Why does a past public listing lower the score?
A listing leaves a trace. Buyers and their advisers can see an asking price, a date and sometimes a history of price cuts, and they negotiate from there. A TLD that has never been listed gives nobody an anchor.
What counts as proof of ownership?
The TLD is recorded onchain as a token in a wallet. Proof is the public registry record showing that wallet, and your ability to act from it: at closing, only the holding wallet can put the TLD up for sale on the aftermarket. If the keys sit with a custodian or a former partner, sort that out before any approach.
Do I have to give Hush Partners exclusivity?
No. No exclusivity is imposed on holders, and every mandate is quoted privately. See sell-side mandates for how an approach runs and how your identity stays out of it.
