📢 ICANN Applicant Support (ASP): IA XYZ Benefit LLC is participating in ICANN’s ASP • Organization ID: IAXL2597Learn more

The Domain for Inteligencia Artificial

A proposed, community‑based, multilingual, and agent‑ready namespace. Bridge Web2 domains with Web3 identities so ≈1.2 billion Romance‑language speakers and autonomous agents share a trustworthy, ethical digital home.

IA XYZ Benefit LLC intends to apply for the .IA top‑level domain as a Community TLD. Approval by ICANN is not guaranteed and timelines are estimates.

🏛️ ICANN Applicant Support Program (ASP) — Status

Organization: IA XYZ Benefit LLC (Wyoming)

Organization ID: IAXL2597

Status: ASP organization record submitted (October 30, 2025)

Full application materials will be published during ICANN’s evaluation period. This page shares our proposed approach and invites community evidence.

.AI momentum → A case for .IA

A sample of teams using .ai today (tap to visit). Imagine the multilingual mirror under .ia.

Why .IA?

“IA” is the natural acronym for Artificial Intelligence across Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian — a community of ≈1.2B speakers. .IA provides a clear, neutral home for people and agents in these languages.

TLDDescription
.ai Country code (Anguilla), massive AI adoption in English‑speaking markets
.ia Proposed community‑based, multilingual namespace serving ≈1.2B Romance‑language speakers and AI developers (ASP Org ID: IAXL2597)

Architecture Goals

Pair Web2 DNS with on‑chain identifiers for autonomous agents, creating verifiable digital identity across traditional and decentralized systems.

Community Registry Model

Unlike generic or corporate TLDs, .IA is being developed as a community‑based registry serving a clearly delineated global community.

Our Community

Community Governance (In Development)

Public Interest Commitments (PIC)

Binding PIC Highlights

1. Community Governance Board (33% voting power minimum)

2. Transparent pricing (annual public review)

3. 90% revenue reinvestment (vs. traditional registries’ profit extraction)

4. Open API for researchers and developers

5. DNSSEC + security standards aligned with ICANN requirements

Roadmap: From Vision to Reality

Ambitious but clear milestones to de‑risk execution through a phased, community‑driven approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I register a .IA domain?

Web3 pilot: targeting 2027 on L2 (Arbitrum/Base)

Global launch: planned for 2028 (Web2+Web3), pending ICANN approval

Is .IA competing with .AI?

No. .IA serves Romance‑language communities; .AI (Anguilla ccTLD) serves largely English‑language markets. They are complementary.

How is this governed?

We are building an international non‑profit consortium (EU‑style governance). Community members will have voting rights on major policy decisions. The governance board will include representatives from each Romance‑language region.

What’s the ICANN approval status?

ASP organization record submitted (Org ID: IAXL2597). Main gTLD application is planned for the expected Round 2 window in 2026 as a Community TLD.

How much will .IA domains cost?

Pricing hasn’t been finalized. Our community model targets affordability with special rates for researchers, students, and non‑profits.

Can AI agents register .IA domains?

Yes — we are developing standards for autonomous agent registration using verifiable credentials and smart contracts.

What if ICANN doesn’t approve .IA?

If approval is delayed or not granted in Round 2, our Web3 pilot can proceed independently while we strengthen our application for subsequent rounds.
