D3 partners apply for .gate and .sui
Two web3 brands are moving to own their address space at the root, not just their apps.
Gate and Sui have filed for .gate and .sui through D3, which handles registry backend work for applicants.
The practical effect: these TLDs will be controlled by the companies themselves, not by speculators or an independent registry operator.
For domain buyers, the question is whether these names ever reach retail. Brand-owned TLDs usually stay closed, so the real signal is namespace control, not new supply.
D3's role is the familiar one of a registry-services partner — handling ICANN compliance, infrastructure, and operations while the brand holds the contract.
This is less a marketplace event and more a structural one: web3 names are now entering the same policy machinery as conventional gTLDs.
