Darpan Munjal is CEO of Atom, the domain name sales platform that recently rebranded from Squadhelp. Following the platform’s rebrand, there has been a lot of public and private commentary about sales on Atom.

One of the things I like and appreciate about Darpan is his willingness to share insights and information. Yesterday afternoon, Darpan responded to some of the questions and commentary that has been posted by others related to the rebrand and sales conducted on the platform.

To make it easier to follow along – and for those who are fortunate to not be on X, I have embedded Darpan’s commentary below:

Escrow.com released its Q1 2024 Domain Name Report this morning via Google Drive. The report showed some growth in the domain name aftermarket over the same period in 2023. In Q1 2024, $84 million in domain name sales was transacted via Escrow.com. This compares to $79 million in Q1 2023.

In the brief summary of the report, Escrow.com shared that the value of .AI domain name sales increased as well. Escrow.com had $2.6 million in transaction volume involving .AI domain names in the first quarter of this year. Per policy, the company did not share any of the sales, nor did they share the largest sale.
