First .bot domain name successfully traded! Ada.bot sold for about $350,000!

After Amazon lifted the registration restrictions on .bot domains on November 30, 2023, the first .bot domain officially completed a sale recently. Ada.bot was successfully sold for $5,000 (approximately RMB 350,000), setting a historic record as the first-ever sale of a .bot domain.

This transaction has garnered widespread attention, signaling a new era in the .bot domain market. Amazon's recent measures aimed to streamline the registration of .bot domains, although they remain relatively expensive. However, industry experts caution investors to approach .bot domain investments with care.

Andrew explained that Amazon's initiative is geared towards promoting the development of .bot domains, making them more widely used in the fields of robotics and automation. .bot domains are typically associated with chatbots, artificial intelligence, and automation technologies, emphasizing their connection to robot-related content.

After the news was shared on Twitter, some users responded that they had already registered multiple .bot domains. However, others mentioned the relatively high prices, as the registration fee for .bot is $69.99/year, equivalent to over 500 RMB.

The introduction of .bot domains was led by Amazon in 2018, aiming to provide a more prominent online identity for content related to robots. It has since gained widespread usage on the internet, becoming a unique symbol in the fields of robotics and automation.
