Will the U.S. government domain about to be released by #doge⚡ become another harvesting machine for the crypto circle?
Recently, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, announced a collaboration with GoDaddy, a leading global domain trading platform, to host a milestone .GOV domain auction. This auction aims to release unused government domain resources, optimizing federal asset management while providing the public and businesses with a unique opportunity to acquire rare .GOV domains.
Although the specific auction date and domain list have not been fully disclosed, industry insiders say the auction may start in April 2025, with the first batch of domains potentially including several historically significant .GOV addresses. Participants must register on the GoDaddy platform and may need to undergo identity verification to meet the special requirements for government domain transactions. DOGE and GoDaddy promise that the auction process will adhere to principles of transparency, with all proceeds used to support the optimization of the federal budget.
This auction has also sparked heated discussions. Some experts believe that the release of .GOV domains could provide new opportunities for blockchain projects, Web3 applications, or public service innovations;
In my opinion, it may lead to a new wave of government tokens emerging, following the previous “celebrity coins,” creating a facade for launch, but when will we return to mainstream blockchain-native projects?
