Best TLDs for Crypto & Web3 Projects

What domain do crypto projects use? The top pick is .xyz — The home TLD of web3 — cheap, everywhere, and culturally native since Alphabet's abc.xyz gave it cover. Strong alternatives: .finance and .world.

1
.xyz ★★★★★~$2–14/yr (first year often $1–2)
The home TLD of web3 — cheap, everywhere, and culturally native since Alphabet's abc.xyz gave it cover.
2
.finance ★★★★★~$40–55/yr
DeFi's heritage TLD (the aave.finance era). Instantly legible in-category.
3
.world ★★★★★~$3 first yr, ~$30 renewal
For protocol-scale ambition — 'a world' framing suits token ecosystems.
4
.art ★★★★★~$15–25/yr
For NFT/digital-art platforms specifically.
5
.io ★★★★★~$30–60/yr
The pre-xyz crypto default; still fine, slightly legacy-flavored now.

.money — reads scammy even in a vertical with high scam tolerance — impressive, in a way.
