October and November are shaping up to be one of the busiest stretches for domain auctions in recent memory, with RightOfTheDot announcing three major events that bring both new technology and global reach to the market.

• GBM Bid-to-Earn Pilot Auction - Now live at gbm.rotd.com, this is the first test of the Bid-to-Earn format, where bidders earn promotional credits each time they are outbid. The pilot features a liquidation portfolio across multiple categories and closes on October 7, 2025.

• Domain Days Dubai Auction - Running now and closing on October 22, this auction is powered by the same Bid-to-Earn system and tied to the Domain Days conference. Both attendees and remote investors can participate online.

• NamesCon Global Auction (Nov 5) - Conducted live in Miami and streamed online at bid.rotd.com, this flagship event will again feature world champion auctioneer Wayne Wheat. The NamesCon auction has historically produced seven-figure sales and will showcase premium names across crypto, fintech, generics, and more.

RightOfTheDot has surpassed $600M in domain sales to date, and these upcoming auctions highlight both the company’s market position and the industry’s appetite for innovative auction models.
