Domain Days Dubai Set to Begin With Digital Asset Auction Among Wednesday's Opening Day Highlights

The 2025 Domain Days Dubai (DDD) conference will be held Wednesday and Thursday (October 22 & 23) at the Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah. You can see our preview of the 3rd annual event here. One thing we haven't talked about yet is the innovative Bid-To-Earn Digital Asset Auction that RightOfTheDot.com is conducting in association with the event. The auction is a global online event that anyone can participate in. Bidding opened October 16 but lots won't begin closing until the end of the opening business day at DDD

Wednesday. Since the time in Dubai is 8 hours later than U.S. Eastern Daylight time (where we are located), that means you will need to get your bids in before 10:30AM U.S. EDT Wednesday, Oct. 22.

The auction features a curated portfolio of 166 premium digital assets headlined by Tokens.com, one of the most valuable and culturally relevant digital assets currently on the market. The name represents the foundation of the global crypto economy, a single word recognized across blockchain, fintech, gaming, and tokenized real estate and gold sectors. Another auction headliner is Solutions.crypto, a premium Web3 identity that aligns with decentralized branding and blockchain utility. Other standouts in the catalog include Amman.com - Arab.x - Dubai.jobs - Developing.ae - Somalia.com - Design.crypto – Mint.nft – Server.ai – Capetown.com – UAE.jobs and Dubai.net to name just a few.

Another major attraction is the Bid-to-Earn (BTE) auction platform, powered by GBM. In this model, every time a bidder is outbid, they earn money back in the form of promotional credits or cash rewards, meaning every participant wins something, even if they don't secure the digital asset. RightOfTheDot President and Founder Monte Cahn said, "Bid-to-Earn gamifies participation and makes high-value auctions more inclusive." Monte also believes Dubai is the perfect place to present a BTE sale. Monte noted, "With more than 300 Web3/blockchain companies, Dubai has become a symbol of innovation in blockchain and fintech, making it the ideal backdrop for this evolution in how digital assets are discovered, valued, and acquired."

Domain Days Dubai Founder Munir Badr added, "Bringing together the Middle East & Africa domain and hosting community is something we take great pride in and we're excited to host the Digital Asset Auction with RightOfTheDot, which reflects our ongoing commitment to elevating the region's digital ecosystem. The introduction of this new bidding system brings greater transparency, efficiency, and engagement than ever before."
