What it means
Before this step, the Foundation was pursuing .ada as a dedicated internet domain for the Cardano ecosystem after a governance action passed with roughly 75% community support. In practice, the position has shifted from a community-backed application to one that has advanced within ICANN’s New gTLD program, while the application still remains unapproved.
What remains open is whether .ada will receive final approval or delegation, and that is not settled in the available coverage. The next confirming step would be an ICANN decision on the application, since the process described here stops at Reveal Day and the ongoing review stage.
