The .ada top-level domain application is moving forward in ICANN's first new gTLD round since 2012. ICANN will next evaluate its technical compliance and the Cardano Foundation's financial and operational readiness to run it. The bid follows a Cardano governance action that passed with about 75% support. Delegations in this round are expected between 2028 and 2030, depending on each application's progress.
