Hi Scott,As I write this answer no price has been set. You can’t apply at this time - no window to get a top-level-domain is open.I’m assuming you know that a top-level-domain (or TLD) is one that exists to the right of the dot like .com, .org, .info, etc.,.TLDs are regulated by The Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers (aka ICANN). This is a private corporation that is recognized and has general agreements with various governments, non-profits, and technical companies around the world to do this work. They are chartered to use bottoms up, consensus driven processes to increase security and stability for the Internet while keeping it competitive.In any event, they manage the process of helping create new TLDs and would decide on the costs. The last time a window to apply for a new TLD was open was in the spring of 2102. Over 2500 applications were put in and out of those about 1200 give or take have actually come to fruition. There are still over one-hundred that are in process or not yet released. It’s been a long arduous process.Half of the 1200+- are brand-style TLDs for use by and for corporations like .deloitte and .canon. The other half are generic (gTLDs) for sale to the public like .pink .poker, or .boats.Regarding the cost, I can only tell you what the general costs were for the 2012 round; the costs vary. Here’s a general list of what’s needed:ICANN application fee: $185KRegistry fees; vary by registry - these are the companies that run the systems for sales, security, and operations during and after the release of the TLD. There is a lot of expertise involved and arrangements ranged from partner deals to $100K or several dollars per domain registered. There are lots of models.There are other costs like security instruments, cash for operations, data escrow arrangements, consulting, and more.To answer your question properly would require much more time than is acceptable in Quora’s forum. Most estimates are that it would take several hundred thousand dollars to even be considered.Here is a link to the 2012 Applicant Guidebook if you have a few days to kill trying to understand it all.https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/guidebook-full-04jun12-en.pdfICANN is in regular discussions about if and when another window will be open and no one knows what the cost will be yet and how the rules will change. You can follow the process by watching ICANN’s ongoing proceedings here;ICANNWishing you the best.

Propy got a 8.4 overall rating at coins.best. We cannot promise it’ll be successful, but the ICO does seem promising at the moment.Here is some information about them taken off our review:Propy is a proposed implementation of a comprehensive platform for remote online real estate transactions using Smart Contracts, aiming to reduce the reliance on intermediaries (such as brokerage, escrow, land registry, and money transfer services) while improving liquidity and security (by reducing the risk of fraud due to confusing or malicious legal agreements). Propy works with current legislation to facilitate transactions while also providing a superior blockchain infrastructure which can be adopted by various entities to reduce redundancy and fraud.Property search sites, e-signature software and other innovations allow buyers, sellers and real estate agents to complete much of a real estate transaction online, but the title transfer process remains a barrier to automation. Propy says it can facilitate the secure transfer of assets by enforcing international data standards and by providing its blockchain-powered ledger to existing title registries. Propy aims to create a novel unified property store and asset transfer platform for the global real estate industry. Initially, the Propy Registry will mirror official land registry records in which transfers of real estate are recorded. Ultimately, however, Propy’s vision is that jurisdictions will adopt the Propy Registry as their official ledger of record.Propy’s engineering team has designed a real estate transaction tool powered by smart contracts, combining solutions from the legal, blockchain and payments industries. Using blockchain technology, Propy has prototyped some of the core technology that will become the Propy Registry as a DApp, which allows each party to a real estate transaction — including the broker, buyer, seller and title agent/notary — to sign off on a transaction for properties located in California, which is Propy’s intended first market. Launching in California will allow the team to focus on driving consumer testing, adoption and improvements within a closed test market, before implementing the solution and driving continuous rapid growth throughout key markets around the world. Propy intends to include a modular system to allow regional governments to provide country-specific rules and regulations. Propy says that it has already begun the process of accelerating this transition across multiple metropolitan markets by talking to governments, local lawyers and local real estate players, and by developing a network of brokers in the UAE, UK, U.S. and a pipeline of international customers from Asia. Based on the founders’ experience, they anticipate that emerging markets will more quickly see the benefits of a pure P2P transaction model.As of today, the Propy DApp has been developed to allow users to find properties and initiate the purchase process. Certain contracts (Title, Deed, Identity) have already been developed, while others (Agreements, Electronic Signatures, Payments, Escrow) are under development. Propy will also seek to develop a number of complementary software components such as a Propy Explorer (front-end gateway), API libraries, and data standards. In the future, Propy intends to use a distributed database to store listings as an intermediate step along the way to a decentralized solution.Read the full review here.*Coin.best isn’t affiliated with Propy.
