< p class = "lede" > The per-TLD registry means minting a TLD is a real, paid action — not a namespace
land-grab. During the alpha, all TLD mints are operator-signed. To propose a TLD, get in touch
via the channels below. The design (mainnet) adds an on-chain covenant with countersignature +
tiered USD price floors: 1-char $100k, 2-char $50k, 3-char $15k, 4-char $5k, 5–
9+-char $250; one-time payment (not annual). See the design doc for the full model.< / p >

only useful if it does not immediately collapse into an ICANN-shadow — the mainnet covenant
