D3, a core contributor to Doma Protocol, unveiled a new program called Frontier at Korean Blockchain Week in Seoul, aiming to give members priority access to desirable names in upcoming top-level domains. The launch follows ICANN's 2026 new gTLD application round, which drew more than 1,600 applications before closing last month, with new extensions expected to go live in late 2027 or early 2028. Frontier lets members earn points through activity with partnered blockchain vault providers and then assign those points to specific domain names to secure a place in line ahead of general availability, without needing a registry relationship or broker. CEO Fred Hsu said the first vault runs on the Solana blockchain, with further vaults planned on Hyperliquid and Base.
