The project claims to operate the '.shop' Top-Level Domain (TLD) registry, but factual verification confirms that GMO Registry (Japan) acquired the rights to .shop in a 2016 ICANN auction for $41.5 million. The submitter (Commercial Connect LLC) was a losing applicant. The submission relies on statistics from 2008-2009 and claims a market cap of $17M without verifiable revenue or current operations matching the description. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false in the context of the .shop registry ownership. The domain dotshop.com currently redirects to an unrelated AI marketplace, suggesting the submission is either a legacy artifact or a misrepresentation.
