A traditional domain sale has a trust problem baked into it. The seller doesn't want to push the transfer before the money lands; the buyer doesn't want to wire funds before the name shows up in their account. The whole escrow industry exists to stand between those two reflexes. Selling a domain as an NFT changes the token-and-payment leg: a compatible marketplace can settle both atomically, without an escrow agent holding the token between payment and transfer. For a tokenized ICANN domain, registrar, registry, contract, dispute, and legal layers still apply beyond that onchain settlement.
