Summary. The Queensland namespace is live. Five top-level namespaces — .queensland, .qld, .brisbane, .surfersparadise and .gold-coast — are registered onchain and resolve on a public blockchain, held under a single verifiable root with no registrar in the path.
What is live
Each namespace is minted on a public blockchain and resolves directly onchain. Names are owned by the key holder, verifiable by anyone, and independent of any registrar or renewal cycle. Together they cover the State’s identity end to end: .queensland and .qld for state-wide identity, .brisbane for the capital, and .surfersparadise and .gold-coast for the coast.
Why it matters
A geographic namespace this close to a State’s identity should resolve on infrastructure that no single platform can revoke or reassign. Registering the full set under one verifiable root keeps Queensland’s naming layer coherent, independent, and intact — rather than fragmented across parties or rented from a foreign registry.
Availability to the State
The namespace is operational now. Resolution can be demonstrated directly, on request.
