RC.xyz – $3,000 (MSRP) Premium Registration
“We chose to build on .xyz for a few reasons. Firstly, .xyz is a well-recognized domain among web3 users. Secondly, the short, premium domain RC.xyz helps us in the anonymous space to build trust in our brand.”
“I registeredcup.LOL because I found it funny and easy to type. Most traditional TLDs have gotten clogged up and are a bit boring. I think many upcoming brands and developers will stand out and find better domain names with new TLDs like .LOL. Invest in the memes!”

“Building on the XYZ domain was a natural choice considering the culture of innovation and internet exploration that defines the XYZ community. As curators of wholly new applications of virtual media, we feel at home using an XYZ domain to represent us. We would rather first build independent value and a name for ourselves in a culture of innovation by using an XYZ domain than to make a big, risky investment into a premium legacy TLD as an early act of business.”
