Nomulus is a production-grade, open-source domain registry platform used to operate top-level domains (TLDs). It implements the core registry protocols—EPP for registrar interactions, WHOIS/RDAP for public data access—and manages the lifecycle of domain objects, hosts, and contacts. The system is built to scale and to enforce policy: pricing rules, reserved names, premium tiers, grace periods, and automated renewals are modeled explicitly. It integrates with DNS provisioning, data escrow, and billing so you can run a compliant registry end-to-end rather than stitching together separate services. Operators get admin tools for reporting, manual adjustments, and policy configuration, while registrars interact through standards-compliant channels. Nomulus treats registries as serious infrastructure: audited flows, durable storage, and clear extension points for custom policies and TLD-specific behavior.
