# XRD Domains

XRD Domains was a **now-deprecated** domain registration and management platform for **.xrd** names on the Radix network, and a major builder of tooling around the **Radix Name Service (RNS)**.

It previously served as the primary user-facing gateway for **discovering, acquiring, and administering .xrd domains**.

In practice, XRD Domains acted as the "dashboard" experience for .xrd owners - abstracting the underlying on-ledger complexity and providing a more approachable interface for handling records / configuring how a domain resolved or behaved across Radix applications. As a result of the **Radix Name Service (RNS) community vote**, the project adopted a wind-down path for **XRD Domains.**

The vote endorsed moving toward an **immutable, fork based **method of operation at community level, so a namespace could continue as a neutral, long-lived piece of infrastructure without depending on a single operating team or funding.

In practice, that community-approved transition meant the centralized platform work that XRD Domains previously provided, was no longer the intended operating model and a clear cut path forward was necessary. **With a new, alternative and open-sourced protocol designed to be durable and registrar-agnostic, XRD Domains was deprecated and subsequently closed as an active service.**
