What is .بازار?
.بازار entered the DNS root zone on February 18, 2014, 12 years ago. It came out of ICANN's New gTLD Program, the 2012 application round that grew the root from 22 generic TLDs to well over a thousand.
In the DNS, .بازار is stored as the ASCII string xn--mgbab2bd (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
CORE Association also runs 2 other TLDs, including .онлайн and .сайт.
On the technical side, .بازار is served by 4 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .بازار, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.xn--mgbab2bd).
