According to @sns, the leading .sol domain categories in 2025 by trading volume are 3 Letters at 213K USD, 3 Letter Dictionary at 106K USD, and 999 Club at 96K USD (source: @sns). Short and structured names captured the bulk of trading and volume across the network, indicating activity was concentrated in these segments (source: @sns).

According to sns.sol, traders are being asked to sign over their domains for minimal compensation and vague promises of profit-sharing or future features, but the contract involved is closed-source, unaudited, and lacks clear documentation on royalties, renewals, or guarantees (source: sns.sol on Twitter, May 26, 2025). This lack of transparency and security introduces significant risks for domain owners and may negatively impact trust in Web3 trading platforms, potentially increasing volatility for related crypto assets and NFT-based domain projects.
