CentralNic Registry (CentralNic Ltd, part of Team Internet Group). All EPP, WHOIS, and RDAP services are operated on CentralNic's platform.

Does .Kred support RDAP?

Yes. RDAP is the primary registration-data-access protocol per ICANN policy. The OT&E RDAP endpoint is https://rdap-ote.centralnic.com/. Production RDAP is operated by CentralNic and available to authorized requestors.

Are public WHOIS responses redacted?

Yes. Public RDDS responses redact Personal Information of natural-person Registrants by default, in accordance with ICANN's Registration Data Policy (effective 21 August 2024). Redacted data is disclosed via tiered access (RDRS, URS/UDRP/CRS proceedings, valid law enforcement requests).

Are renewals billed at expiry or at the end of the grace period?

Are two-character country-code SLDs available?

Yes. As of 4 May 2026, letter/letter two-character ASCII labels corresponding to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g., id.kred, us.kred, de.kred) are released for registration at the second level pursuant to ICANN's 13 December 2016 Authorization, subject to country-code-confusion safeguards.

Does .Kred allow registrars to run expired-domain auctions?

Yes. Registrars can configure the ExpireAuction renewal mode in CentralNic's platform, or run their own auction operations independently.

In short

In short: .Kred is an ICANN-approved generic Top-Level Domain operated by KredTLD Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of PeopleBrowsr (Sydney), under a Registry Agreement signed 19 December 2013. Every .Kred name is both a fully resolving DNS web address and an ENS-compatible Ethereum wallet address, minted as an ERC-721 Kred Domain Token. The namespace is open: there are no registration restrictions and every character length is available, including single-character names. Standard names (5+ characters) start at USD 12/year registry wholesale through 40 accredited registrars; retail pricing varies by registrar. Adoption is web3-native, documented in the live gallery of .Kred names, and the culture around the name - +Kred, Kred Score, NFT.NYC - predates the TLD. A growing portfolio of Kred-operated products - Kredentials, Score.Kred, Link.Kred, and NFT.Kred - extends every name beyond DNS and ENS.

The culture of Kred

.Kred didn't arrive as a blank namespace. It carries fifteen years of recognition, reputation, and web3-native community with it.

+Kred

The recognition gesture, born in 2011. Give someone +Kred and you vouch for them. In 2026 it is agent-aware, so both people and agents can be credited.

Kred Score

Reputation that travels with the name rather than sitting inside one platform. Applies to humans and to agents operating under a .Kred name.

Web3-native since 2018

Over 150 million NFTs minted and 13 million+ wallets onboarded through PeopleBrowsr infrastructure before .Kred opened its namespace.

NFT.NYC

Founding Partner across nine editions, with more than 40,000 alumni in the community that .Kred grew up alongside.

Kept records

A .Kred name is not a parked string. The record behind it is sourced, dated, re-verified on a schedule, and shows its work.

An open namespace

No registration restrictions, no trade or credential gate. Every character length is available, including single-character names.

Flagship on .Kred

Kredentials

Kredentials turns a .Kred name into a record that answer engines can quote: every fact sourced and dated, anything unverified published as an open question rather than quietly asserted, and an agent that re-reads the sources on a schedule.

Be the answer, not the link. That is the reason a growing share of the namespace is already occupied by people who want their own record to be the citation.

Kredentials.Kred

Specification · DNS

What every .Kred name does

.Kred domains work like any other domain on the internet. It is a fully resolving DNS name with complete record management - A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT - DNSSEC, and SSL by default. Point it at a website, configure email, set up subdomains, run redirects, and use it with any host, platform, or service that accepts a custom domain.

Anything you can do with a .com, you can do with a .Kred.
