Blockchain.ai Sells for $405,000! The Tech Duo Ignites the Domain Name Market

In the intertwined worlds of technology and domain name markets, news of a high-priced transaction recently garnered widespread attention: the core domain name Blockchain.ai was sold on the auction platform NameJet for $405,000 (approximately RMB 2.88 million). This price not only places it in second place on the 2025 list of publicly traded .ai domain names, surpassing only Cloud.ai, which sold for $600,000 in July of this year, but further boosting the thriving .ai domain market.

In terms of domain name value, Blockchain.ai is a true “golden combination” of the tech era. “Blockchain” represents a decentralized, immutable technology system, while “AI” (artificial intelligence) is the core engine of global technological innovation. The integration of the two is the mainstream trend of current technological development. Whether it’s Web3 ecosystem development, smart contract optimization, or AI-driven blockchain data analysis, the synergy of these two technologies is essential. For tech companies, Web3 projects, or AI startups, Blockchain.ai not only quickly builds industry recognition with its intuitive name, but also, with its “blockchain + AI” concept, demonstrates its ambitions in cutting-edge technology. Its long-term brand potential and commercial value are self-evident.

However, this high-priced transaction is shrouded in controversy. The auction was hosted by NameJet, and the domain name registry is managed by Identity Digital. After the auction, the original registrant filed an objection, claiming to have pre-renewed the domain. On October 8th, Identity Digital contacted the registry through their lawyer, requesting a halt to the transfer. However, this request was rejected by Identity Digital, and the auction result was ultimately upheld. To protect its rights, the original registrant has filed a lawsuit in California, USA. The case is currently under review, and the subsequent transfer of the domain name may be affected.

Although the legal dispute has added uncertainty to the transaction, the Blockchain.ai transaction is still seen as a significant milestone in the .ai domain market in 2025. On the one hand, this demonstrates investors’ long-term optimism about the convergence of “blockchain + artificial intelligence” and reflects the market’s recognition of the value of cutting-edge tech domain names. On the other hand, it further solidifies the .ai domain’s status as a high-value digital asset. In recent years, with the rise of AI technology, .ai domain prices have continued to climb, making them a popular investment. Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit, the Blockchain.ai transaction will serve as a key indicator for observing future .ai domain market trends, providing the industry with valuable insights into the value and investment direction of tech domain names.
