In this XYZ Quarterly, we’ll cover five .xyz websites that function as online hubs. We’ll also provide a recap of XYZ’s Q2 2026 activity.
The emerging technologies that we cover continue to evolve. The content below offers ideas for inspiration, showcasing .xyz community members implementing these innovative concepts. The examples of .xyz community members are real-life pioneers implementing technology in the realm of each idea. The information we provide does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by XYZ. We encourage you to do your own research before using the products and services we feature.
As digital projects continue to launch, grow, and reach new audiences, building a strong online presence remains an important part of how ideas are shared on the web. A well-structured website can often be one of the first ways people encounter a project, making it an important foundation for how a brand communicates its purpose, offerings, and identity online.
This year’s XYZ Quarterly theme is “Strengthening Digital Identity with XYZ Registry Domains.” Throughout 2026, we will explore different elements that can support a project’s digital identity, from choosing an effective domain name to refining how websites communicate their purpose and offerings, alongside examples of .xyz websites that apply these strategies.
In Q2, we focus on websites that function as online hubs. A well-structured website can bring together product information, documentation, updates, community resources, and contact details under a single, recognizable address, giving different audiences a central place to find what they need. Below, we highlight five websites from the .xyz community that illustrate how a domain can serve as an online hub for information, products, and communities.
A domain name can do more than identify a website. It can serve as a central destination where visitors find everything they need in one place. For organizations, businesses, and independent professionals, a domain can consolidate what might otherwise live across separate tools and channels into a single, recognizable address. When a domain functions as a hub, it becomes the primary reference point for anyone looking to learn about, engage with, or connect to a project.
A website that serves as a hub can support a range of audiences at once. Potential customers can explore products and services, collaborators can review documentation and technical resources, community members can find updates and events, and anyone looking to get in touch can locate contact information directly. Rather than directing different audiences to different places, a hub consolidates that access into one clear destination.
The following .xyz websites illustrate how a domain can function as an online hub, bringing together the information, resources, and connections that help visitors engage with a project and find what they are looking for.
Imperfecta.xyz is the online home of Imperfecta, an Oregon-based art and design gallery founded and directed by Daria Loi, who previously worked in architecture, design research, and technology. As shared on the website, the gallery focuses on elevating women artists and underrepresented creatives, presenting work across visual art, sculpture, and installation. Imperfecta relaunched in February 2026 in a new Pearl District location, moving into a larger exhibition space in the General Automotive Building (1923).
The website organizes the gallery’s programming and artist roster into dedicated sections. The website lists current and upcoming exhibitions, including scheduled dates and opening receptions, and features profiles of represented artists, like Sophie Spinelle, alongside available works. According to Imperfecta.xyz, the gallery space includes an exhibition gallery, an installation area, a reading section, and a cabinet of curiosities called “Hiraeth,” and the website reflects that range by presenting the gallery’s physical programming alongside its digital presence. Visitors can browse available works directly on the website, such as Companions, a work by Jacqueline Myers-Cho, comprising an oil painting on wrapped canvas and an accompanying cat sculpture made from clay, paint, varnish, fabric, and leather. Imperfecta.xyz also includes dedicated sections covering gallery services, a blog, and open calls, including details on the gallery’s no-interest installment plan for collectors and submission guidelines for artists interested in applying as a Collaborating Artist.
Beyond the website itself, Imperfecta maintains a presence on Instagram @imperfecta.xyz, Facebook @imperfecta.xyz, and LinkedIn @imperfectaxyz, giving visitors additional ways to follow the gallery’s activity and discover its artists. In cases where the exact brand name is not available as a handle, utilizing the domain ending can help maintain clarity across platforms.
Blackhole.xyz is the online home of Blackhole, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Avalanche blockchain. Noted in the project documentation, Blackhole functions as a liquidity hub designed to support emerging blockchain projects. The platform provides mechanisms for collaborative liquidity formation, including Genesis Pools, where project teams and community participants contribute assets together to establish liquidity. Blackhole also incorporates a vote-escrow token model that allows participants to lock the platform’s native token and take part in governance.
The website is structured around the platform’s core functions, with separate sections for liquidity, swapping, and governance. Blackhole.xyz presents an overview of the platform’s liquidity tools and architecture, and visitors can access several functional sections directly. The Liquidity page displays active pools, total value locked, trading volume, and fees, and helps liquidity providers deposit and stake assets to earn BLACK emissions. According to the website, the platform currently lists 75 tokens across pool types including basic, concentrated, stable, volatile, and automated liquidity management (ALM) options. The Swap page helps users exchange tokens directly on the platform, while the Portfolio page provides a view of a user’s liquidity positions, staking activity, locks, and voting rewards. The Incentives page is designed to assist participants with adding voting rewards to pools in order to attract liquidity during each governance epoch. Together, these sections reflect Blackhole.xyz‘s structure as a platform where liquidity providers, token projects, and governance participants can find the tools and information relevant to their activity.
For ongoing platform activity, Blackhole’s presence on X/Twitter offers updates on liquidity tools, governance, and community developments.
LoganHardin.xyz is the personal website of Logan Hardin, an award-winning technical sound designer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Logan currently works for Warner Bros. Entertainment on contract with Epic Games, contributing to Fortnite, one of Epic Games’ flagship titles. Logan holds a Bachelor of Science in Visualization with a minor in Performance Studies from Texas A&M University, and an MFA in Sound Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Logan’s website is organized around his dual focus: studio credits on one side, independent tools and side projects on the other. The homepage of LoganHardin.xyz leads with an embedded portfolio video showcasing a selection of projects, and the Games page provides a fuller picture of Logan’s project history, including his work on Forza Motorsport (2023) across areas such as the Reactive Cockpit System, Track Audio, Audio Description, and UI and Cinematics. A dedicated More page features independent work Logan has developed outside of his studio roles, including a collection of Lua scripts for the digital audio workstation Reaper, Troubadour Tabletop Audio (a Discord bot built to stream adaptive audio for tabletop roleplaying game sessions), and Solar Science, a mod for Kerbal Space Program that accumulated approximately 50,000 downloads across platforms over five years, per the website.
Logan’s project history extends beyond the website itself, with additional work and updates posted to Bluesky, LinkedIn, Vimeo, and GitHub.
Arinna.xyz is the online home of Arinna, a startup developing solar technology designed for space applications. As highlighted on the website, Arinna is building ultra-thin, flexible solar technology with high power-per-mass and radiation resistance. As reported by TechCrunch, Arinna builds solar cells for spacecraft using ultrathin semiconductor materials and raised a $4M seed round in March 2026 led by Spacecadet Ventures, with participation from Anorak Ventures and Breakthrough Energy Foundation.1
The website is organized around the company’s technology and its path from lab concept to space solar hardware. The Technology page outlines the company’s solar cell development, presenting a comparison of legacy space and terrestrial solar technologies alongside Arinna’s approach using 2D semiconductors. According to the page, the technology is designed to achieve up to 32% efficiency, a 15-plus year lifetime, and a weeks-long production lead time, at a fraction of the cost of legacy alternatives. The About page provides background on the company’s founding by CEO Koosha Nazif and CTO Alex Shearer, who met during doctoral research at Stanford University. Visitors looking to get in touch can reach the company through a contact form and a branded email address, [email protected], available on both pages.
Company updates are also shared through Arinna’s LinkedIn presence, alongside the technology and leadership information available on the website.
Axiom.xyz is the online home of Axiom, a zero-knowledge (ZK) technology platform developed by Intrinsic Technologies. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are a cryptographic method that allows one party to verify the truth of a statement to another party without revealing any additional information beyond the validity of the statement itself. According to the website, Axiom develops tools designed to help developers build and deploy applications using zero-knowledge proofs, with a focus on making ZK technology more accessible to teams working on Ethereum and other blockchain infrastructure. In January 2024, Axiom announced a $20M Series A round led by Paradigm and Standard Crypto.
The website is built around two entry points for developers: product documentation and the technical blog. Axiom.xyz presents two primary products: OpenVM, a modular zkVM framework designed to help developers build ZK applications with custom configurations and full Rust support, and the Axiom Proving API, a proving infrastructure service designed to handle OpenVM configuration, build management, and proof generation. As stated on the website, the Proving API is designed to help developers deploy ZK functionality without managing their own infrastructure. Developers can access product documentation, a Getting Started Guide, and technical specifications directly from the website. The blog features product updates, partnership announcements, and research articles from the Axiom team, covering developments such as the release of OpenVM 2.0 and the launch of the Proving API beta. Developers can follow ongoing releases across several channels: X/Twitter @axiom_xyz, Discord, Telegram, and GitHub.
The examples above span an art gallery, a decentralized exchange, a personal portfolio, a space technology startup, and a ZK development platform. Across those different contexts, each website functions as a single destination where visitors can find what they need, whether that means exploring a product, reviewing documentation, discovering a body of work, or simply getting in touch. What varies across these five is the audience each hub is built for (collectors, liquidity providers, hiring managers, investors, developers), but the underlying approach is the same: one address, structured to answer a specific set of questions rather than direct people elsewhere.
As we move into the second half of 2026, XYZ Registry is carrying the momentum from our 12th anniversary celebration in June into the months ahead. This anniversary reflected the continued growth and global adoption of .xyz across XYZ Registry’s portfolio of domain extensions. Throughout the quarter, we spotlighted inventive members of the .xyz community, with a particular focus on projects redefining their industries through AI, quantum computing, blockchain, AR/VR, and gaming. Our monthly Domains Report series remains a central resource for tracking domain trends, aftermarket sales, and notable developments from ventures building on .xyz and other XYZ Registry domains. Below is a snapshot of key moments from Q2.
This June, we proudly celebrated the 12th anniversary of .xyz‘s launch, a milestone that highlighted more than 10 million domain registrations across XYZ Registry’s portfolio of 35 domain extensions. Since its debut, .xyz has remained a forward-looking domain choice for millions of creators, companies, and developers around the world.

Earlier this quarter, we published our Q1 2026 Anti-Abuse Quarterly Report, which focuses on strengthening abuse reporting across the ecosystem. The report notes timely reporting remains a critical step in the abuse response lifecycle, since actionable intelligence that isn’t shared with the responsible registry or registrar can delay or entirely miss opportunities for remediation.
Our Quarterly Anti-Abuse Reports highlight our proactive enforcement efforts. You can discover recent findings and activity in the Q1 2026 Anti-Abuse Quarterly Report, read the introduction on our blog, and gain insight about our approach in our Anti-Abuse overview.
At XYZ Registry, maintaining a secure domain space is a core part of our mission. Over the past decade, we have built an anti-abuse program designed to keep pace with evolving threats across our Top Level Domain (TLD) ecosystem, with a focus on detecting and addressing misuse such as phishing, malware distribution, and spam. We enforce our Anti-Abuse Policy through ongoing review of abuse signals and close collaboration with industry partners.
To report abuse in any XYZ Registry TLD, submit a ticket at https://gen.xyz/abuse or email [email protected].
To provide greater transparency into our ongoing anti-abuse efforts, XYZ Registry maintains the XYZ Anti-Abuse hub, a central resource for information about monitoring processes, reporting abuse, and actions taken in collaboration with industry partners and law enforcement. We invite you to explore the hub and join us in working toward a more secure internet.
This quarter highlighted a range of websites built on domains across many XYZ Registry domain endings, illustrating how creators and organizations continue to choose distinctive extensions to shape their online presence. From a creative director’s personal portfolio to a maternity retailer and an AI governance platform, these examples showcase the versatility of XYZ Registry domains such as .Baby, .Security, .LOL, and others. Together, they highlight how a well-chosen domain can ground a brand’s identity and help ideas reach the right audience. Below are some of the websites using XYZ Registry domains featured this quarter:

Throughout the quarter, our weekly #AIMonday blog series showcased how artificial intelligence continues to evolve from a standalone focus into a foundational layer across industries, shaping how products are built, workflows are optimized, and ideas are brought to life. Increasingly, AI is being woven into existing tools, platforms, and creative processes rather than standing apart as its own category, reflecting a shift toward more embedded, practical use cases. This evolution is visible across the web, where many AI-driven and AI-enabled projects choose .xyz domains as their online home, including a range of organizations and individual practitioners applying AI in diverse and often unexpected ways. Below are a few examples:
AMILabs.xyz is the online home of AMI Labs, an AI research company focused on building systems that understand and interact with the physical world.

Blockchain-focused investor Mirana.xyz invests in blockchain and AI infrastructure projects. Early-stage venture firm GenVentures.xyz backs machine economy projects across AI, DePIN, and blockchain. Crypto-focused venture firm and incubator MF.xyz builds and funds crypto companies across global markets. In this week’s #BlockchainThursday, we’ll introduce you to an early-stage venture capital fund investing in blockchain startups across Southeast Asia and North America: TBV.xyz.
TBV.xyz is the online home of TBV (TB Ventures), a Singapore-based early-stage venture capital fund investing in startups across Southeast Asia and North America. Alongside the venture fund, the firm operates two additional arms: TBA (TB Advisory), which works with founders on strategy from seed stage through IPO, and TBE (The Best Event),1 which runs industry events. As stated on TBV.xyz, the firm brings together capital, advisory, and a network of industry connections for early-stage founders, with a proprietary system called TBX that the website describes as unifying deal flow, relationship data, event intelligence, and advisory insights across the firm’s portfolio.
According to TBV’s Capital page, the firm focuses on leading and co-leading investment rounds, with check sizes ranging from $250K to $1M. TBV states its investment focus includes blockchain projects built for mainstream user bases as well as projects designed specifically for crypto-native communities. The firm describes its events arm as a source of deal flow, stating that its event series draws more than 50,000 attendees annually. According to the website, this presence gives the firm access to allocation in funding rounds before institutional investment, and helps portfolio companies tap into distribution channels, exchange relationships, and follow-on capital.
The firm’s portfolio includes BoomFi.xyz, a payments infrastructure provider connecting traditional finance and digital assets2; Petastic, a pet care technology platform3; and Throughput, a company building tools for launching customizable blockchain networks.4 Through TBA, the firm has advised DataHive, a data rights platform5; Zoth, a platform designed to connect traditional finance and onchain finance6; and Kyo, a decentralized exchange built on the Soneium network.7
TBV is co-founded by General Partners Tobias Bauer and Brent Fulfer. As shared on TBV.xyz, Tobias is a Startup Mentor for accelerator programs including 500 Startups, APX, Plug and Play, NUMA New York, and Alchemist Accelerator, and serves as a Venture Partner of investment platform Republic. Brent leads investments and manages TBV’s day-to-day operations, and also leads the firm’s TB Program, which supports portfolio companies with fundraising and go-to-market strategy. TBV.xyz states that Skye Cornell serves as Head of Events at TBE, overseeing production of The Best Event series. Prior to TBV, Skye held marketing leadership roles including Head of Marketing at Blockchain Founders Fund and CMO at fintech startup Clik, as shared on her LinkedIn profile.
TBV brings together capital, advisory, and events under one platform, connecting early-stage founders across Southeast Asia and North America. Based in Singapore and built for a global network of founders and investors, TBV.xyz reflects the firm’s international reach. As a domain ending with an open, generic nature, .xyz gives a Singapore-based fund like TBV an online presence built to work across any region or industry, while also signaling the firm’s focus on emerging technology.

TheJiffy.xyz – Porkbun customer – (United States)
Independent creators and storytellers use .xyz domains to build platforms that reflect their work and connect with their communities. Inspiration platform Workspaces.xyz showcases creative setups from professionals worldwide. Tech enthusiast Albena Kostova-Nikolova uses Web3PlusAI.xyz to explore the intersection of blockchain and AI. Writer and marketer Daniel Abrahams uses DanielAbrahams.xyz to share insights and build community. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to a documentary media project chronicling the people, histories, and hidden corners of the Hudson Valley: TheJiffy.xyz.
TheJiffy.xyz is the online home of The Jiffy, an independent media project covering life in the Hudson Valley and rural upstate New York. James Cave founded The Jiffy to deepen his understanding of his neighbors and help them get to know one another. As the Mission page describes it, he carries out that work through documentary-style newsletters, videos, and podcast episodes. The Mission page also states that each piece is produced to make the Hudson Valley feel “a little more knowable and a little more connected.” James describes his approach as reporting the way a guest would in someone else’s home, with patience and respect for the people he covers. In May 2026, The Jiffy launched The Jiffy Book Club, a season-long reading series centered on a single book, paired with companion essays, audio segments, and interviews. The book club premiered with Victoria Johnson’s “Glorious Country,” a biography of Hudson River School painter Frederic Church.
The Jiffy publishes across several formats built around one reporting approach: what James describes as slow, documentary-style storytelling that favors sustained attention over speed. The platform’s podcast, “The Jiffy: Stories From Upstate New York,” has been running since 2024 and is described on its page as a “documentary audio zine” covering local histories, mysteries, and personal dispatches from the region. Episodes include a three-part series marking the 200th birthday of Frederic Church, featuring conversations with Diane Shewchuk, curator at Olana (Frederic Church’s historic estate); Victoria Johnson, author of “Glorious Country”; and Betsy Jacks, former executive director of Thomas Cole National Historic Site. According to the website, James’s newsletter covers regional history, agriculture, and environmental issues, as well as profiles of local farmers, artists, historians, and longtime residents. In the first issue of each month, James also publishes an events guide covering happenings in the region’s arts and sciences, organized by category, from gallery openings and theater premieres to guided nature walks and historic site programming. The newsletter also includes lighter, satirical features, such as a travel column called The Travel Log and an anonymous food-critic column called The Hungry Eye. According to the FAQ, funding for The Jiffy comes primarily from readers, listeners, and viewers, with a smaller mix of sponsorships, grants, and client work, and all sponsored content is clearly disclosed.
As stated on the Mission page, James Cave founded The Jiffy after moving to the Hudson Valley with his wife at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic while working remotely as a journalist. According to James’s LinkedIn profile, he lists prior roles including Men’s Lifestyle Editor at The Huffington Post and Supervising Editor and Global Editorial Director of Branded Content at Yahoo. According to James’s LinkedIn profile, he left Yahoo in 2022 and launched The Jiffy full-time in June 2023. A January 2026 profile by researcher Maya Srikrishnan, published through creator training program News Creator Corps, describes how James’s move to the Hudson Valley shaped his documentary approach, noting his preference for collaborating with residents on their own stories rather than reporting on them from the outside.1
What began as a newsletter has grown into a wider hub for James’s reporting, now including an archive of past issues, a podcast, and a book club exploring the people and stories of upstate New York. The .xyz domain’s generic nature gives The Jiffy room to grow, open to wherever James takes the project next. As a globally recognized domain ending that works for any format, industry, or region, .xyz offers a fitting home for that growth. You can learn more by following James on Instagram and visiting TheJiffy.xyz.

HotAisle.xyz – Spaceship customer – (United States)
Companies at the forefront of AI development use .xyz domains as the online home for their platforms and services. AI data infrastructure Hub.xyz builds a distributed network for real-time machine intelligence. Decentralized AI protocol Sentient.xyz supports an open, community-driven approach to AGI development. AI-powered platform Power.xyz develops tools for visual commerce and 3D content creation across brands and marketplaces. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a cloud computing company providing GPU infrastructure for AI workloads: HotAisle.xyz.
HotAisle.xyz is the online home of Hot Aisle, a cloud computing company that provides developers and organizations with on-demand access to GPUs (specialized processors designed for AI workloads) for AI and high-performance computing tasks. According to the website, Hot Aisle builds and operates its own infrastructure, offering direct access to physical servers (rather than shared or virtualized resources) for teams running demanding AI and computing tasks. The company was founded in October 2023 by Jon Stevens and Clint Armstrong and is backed by Mesh.xyz, a web3 incubator and investment firm founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. In April 2026, the company received a sustainability certificate from data center operator Switch, confirming that Hot Aisle operated on 100% renewable energy within Switch’s facilities in 2025. According to the certificate, Switch retired 781 Renewable Energy Credits on Hot Aisle’s behalf, with those credits complying with Greenpeace’s principles of locality, additionality, and sustainability.
The website describes Hot Aisle’s infrastructure as purpose-built for AI workloads, with a stated focus on making high-performance computing hardware more accessible to developers and organizations that might otherwise turn to large cloud providers. According to HotAisle.xyz, the platform’s AMD MI300X GPUs each carry 192GB of high-bandwidth memory, which the website positions as suitable for running large AI models without memory constraints. The website also states that a new instance can be up and running in under 60 seconds, with no contracts or minimum spend required. Hot Aisle states that the platform holds SOC2 Type 2 certification and is HIPAA compliant, two widely recognized standards for data security and privacy. According to the Quick Start page, users can add funds via credit card or crypto stablecoins, and the platform supports automated deployment through integrations with developer tools. On Hot Aisle’s LinkedIn profile, the company describes itself as building supercomputers for businesses that want to avoid large upfront hardware and operating costs, and as a partner to technology companies, including computing hardware company Dell Technologies and chip manufacturer AMD.1
Hot Aisle is co-founded by Jon Stevens and Clint Armstrong. According to Jon’s LinkedIn profile, prior to founding Hot Aisle, Jon served as Co-Founder and CTO of W3BCLOUD, a cloud computing infrastructure company created through a collaboration between blockchain software company ConsenSys and chip manufacturer AMD. In that role, he managed the deployment and optimization of more than 150,000 AMD GPUs across seven U.S. data centers. According to Clint’s LinkedIn profile, he previously served as Director of Decentralized Storage at W3BCLOUD, where he designed and operated large-scale GPU and storage infrastructure, including a 20-petabyte storage cluster and a network supporting more than 20,000 machines across two data centers. The About Us page notes that the two worked together for over five years before founding Hot Aisle, and that both bring open-source backgrounds to the company, which the page states drives their commitment to transparency.
With its own GPU infrastructure, a renewable energy certification, and backing from Mesh.xyz, Hot Aisle has built a foundation in the AI cloud space. The company upgraded its domain from hotaisle.ai to HotAisle.xyz. The move reflects what .xyz offers businesses operating across a broad range of industries: a generic domain ending open to any purpose, capable of representing a company’s full scope as it grows. For a platform that spans cloud services, supercomputer builds, and enterprise partnerships, HotAisle.xyz provides a flexible foundation that keeps the focus on the brand itself. You can learn more by following the company on X/Twitter and LinkedIn, and by visiting HotAisle.xyz.
