.christie's domains

An onchain TLD built on one of the most trusted name roots in the art and auction world. .christie's is being developed now — permanent, agent-ready, at the intersection of provenance, x402, and browser-native resolution.

01 The namespace

A namespace for trust onchain — .christie's domains.

.christie's

.christie's is an onchain TLD — minted via Freename, held in a wallet, owned permanently. No registrar controls .christie's. No renewal can expire it. The namespace exists on blockchain: verifiable, transferable, and independent of any third party.

What makes .christie's worth building is the convergence of timing and cultural authority. A name root synonymous with trust and verification, positioned inside x402, AI agents, and browser-native resolution before any of those go mainstream — that's a rare intersection.

We hold .christie's and we're building on it. The position is established. The build is underway. The window to be inside this namespace before the infrastructure matures is open.

Why .christie's domains matter now.

Four infrastructure forces converging in the same window — all in active development. .christie's is positioned inside all of them, already.

x402 · live on testnet

The payment primitive.

x402 is live on testnet. The protocol lets AI agents pay APIs directly, onchain, without human intervention. Every agent operating under .christie's — handling verification, provenance queries, access flows — needs a permanent identity. agent.christies resolves. A wallet address doesn't.

AI agents · shipping 2026

Agents need identities.

Agents handling authentication, valuation, and transaction management are already in production across multiple industries. When they handle payments onchain, they need names. subdomain.christies is the kind of identity that carries weight — human-readable, permanently onchain, verifiable.

Browser resolution · incoming

The road is being built.

Browser-native onchain TLD resolution is on a public roadmap. The names with build history when it lands are in a different category from everything registered after. .christie's is building that history now.

Freename · ICANN accredited

Both worlds, one address.

Freename is the only Web3 domain infrastructure with ICANN accreditation. A .christie's subdomain is simultaneously onchain and ICANN-legitimate. It works in a smart contract and in a compliance or legal flow. Both worlds.

02 What's inside

Built for provenance onchain — register your .christie's domain.

Every subdomain under .christie's is a permanent onchain address — owned by the key holder, transferable, x402-compatible from day one. The root is .christie's. The architecture beneath it is open.

◦ permanent

No expiry. Ever.

.christie's subdomains are minted onchain. No registrar holds the key. No renewal can close the window. A .christie's address exists permanently — owned, not rented.

◦ agent-ready

x402 native

Every .christie's subdomain is x402-compatible. An agent operating as verify.christies can pay, authenticate, and transact onchain — without intermediaries, permanently on-record.

◦ open

Point anywhere

Point any .christie's subdomain at any content, wallet, protocol, or contract. We hold the root. Everything beneath it belongs to whoever registers it.
