Lovable is a popular “vibe coding” startup that has quickly become a leader in that space. Lovable was founded just 8 months ago, and TechCrunch reported that the startup just achieved unicorn status – a valuation of $1 billion or more. The company raised a $200 million Series A funding round, and it now has a $1.8 billion valuation.
Notably to domain investors, Lovable has done this with a brand matching .Dev domain name.
I discovered an issue with the way Whois records are displayed at GoDaddy that could be problematic for domain investors. I was made aware of this when DomainTools detected a Whois change for one of my domain names that hadn’t undergone any Whois updates. This is an issue GoDaddy is aware of, and I hope the company remedies it ASAP.
All of my domain names are registered / owned by my company, Top Notch Domains, LLC. Within the individual settings page, I can see the Whois information correctly shows my company name and other contact information. You can have a look at how I would like the Whois record to look for SelfCare.com:
Sedo shared that the largest publicly reported domain name sale of the week on its platform is Crypto.Bot for $250,000:
$250,000 for crypto .bot! 🤯
This #domain with the highly sought-after keyword #crypto topped last week’s Sedo public #sales. The high value is no surprise, given “crypto” is a consistent top performer in our monthly #keyword rankings.

In looking at NameBio, this $250,000 sale is the largest .Bot sale recorded, easily overtaking the $12,000 sale of web3.bot, which closed in 2024. To date, just 24 .Bot sales have been recorded in NameBio. Amazon operates the .Bot extension, but it only recently made .Bot domain names more easy for people and businesses to register.
In March, HubSpot co-Founder Dharmesh Shah announced the acquisition of OS.ai for $150,000. In response to his post on X, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas replied to Dharmesh to tell him he wanted to buy OS.ai. It looks like that happened.
Yesterday evening, Srinivas posted about OS.ai, and Dharmesh re-posted his comment:
And so it begins. https://t.co/3oAzQvO1uI

The OS.ai domain name has been registered at GoDaddy under Whois privacy, so an ownership change wouldn’t have been noticed via Whois records.
Monarch.com was recently acquired by Andy Booth in a deal brokered by Sedo’s Dave Evanson. Andy mentioned this acquisition on X a little over a week and a half ago. The acquisition price for Monarch.com was not shared by Andy or by Sedo.
When I visited Monarch.com today, I noticed the domain name is now forwarding to MonarchMoney.com. Monarch is a personal finance and expense tracking app that recently announced its $75 million Series B funding round. The company reportedly has a valuation of $850 million.
The Footage.com domain name has been sold for $300,000 in a deal brokered by Sedo’s Mark Ghoriafi, who is known in the industry as “Mr. Premium.” Since it was acquired, Footage.com has been developed into a platform that allows its users to “create, generate, edit, and produce content using advanced artificial intelligence technology.”
Footage.com is a great example of a one word .com domain name being both descriptive and brandable. Unlike many acquisitions that involve upgrading from a lesser domain name, the platform launched its service on Footage.com. “Footage” is not only directly relevant to video and content production but it also functions as a strong and memorable brand name for this type of platform.
