They weren't outliers. They were the same manipulation pattern, repeated — across different venues, different privacy masks, different drop cycles. Once you see the signature, you can't un-see it.
Four zones. Each rewards a different kind of attention. Volume gets you quick wins and a sense of the yard. Depth gets you one name at a time with full lineage. Pattern gets you the signatures nobody surfaces. Loss gets you what you missed — the hardest one to look at, usually the most valuable.
Every search is private by default. No plaintext domain stored, no identity attached, nothing shared with any registrar. Flip to public below to publish your search on the tape as evidence. Because we query the registry directly, your intent is never exposed to registrar retargeting, drop-catcher monitoring, or front-running networks. · First 20 searches/day free · upgrade for unlimited
The difference between a registrar search and a Tape query is not subtle. Here is the walkthrough.
The Meta Tape is the forensic layer. It exists to make the difference provable, not claimed. Every query is a row. Every row is hash-chained to the one before it. Every week, the chain is anchored to a public proof manifest. If the Tape is ever altered retroactively — by us, by anyone — the math breaks and the alteration becomes visible to every party holding the manifest.
This is the gap the registry class has declined to close for twenty-five years. We are closing it.
— The Tape does not lie. Modifications are detectable. Truth is verifiable. —
Each signature describes a structural pattern observed across thousands of verified sales. They are not isolated events. They are systemic behavior.
| Signature | Count | Severity | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Drop → same-registrar re-reg → Afternic NS < 60 days
A domain leaves an owner's control, gets re-registered at a corporate sibling registrar, privacy-masked, and appears on the marketplace arm within two months. Closed-loop at ~3,500× markup observed in our working set.

Same privacy provider across 2+ registrars in common cluster
The same privacy service (e.g. "Withheld for Privacy") appears on domains held at nominally unrelated registrars that share a corporate parent. Does not prove coordination; removes the cover that coordination hides behind.

3 | MED | ACTIVE |
|
Fresh re-registration within 60d of prior-owner drop, locked 2yr+
A dropped domain is snapped up within the first re-registration window and immediately locked for two or more years. Pattern of inventory accumulation, not active use.

2 | MED | ACTIVE |
|
Competitor appraisal > 10× row trimmed mean
An incumbent appraisal tool returns a value more than ten times the median of other comparable valuations for the same domain. The "outlier" is the systematic under- or over-quote, not random noise.

Appraisal > $100M absolute ceiling
An appraisal value exceeds $100 million. This is effectively impossible for any domain outside a handful of public ceilings. When it appears it indicates data corruption or motivated inflation.

A forensic layer matters if it records three things well: the individual event, the pattern that emerges across events, and the cryptographic proof that the record itself wasn't altered.
Each recorded transaction receives a sequence number, a timestamp, a canonical row hash, and a link to the previous entry. Private by default. Never repudiated. Never overwritten.
Clusters of related events surface as named signatures — the kind no individual market participant can see from their own vantage. Patterns that require a shared tape to become visible.
Weekly Merkle roots computed across eligible records and published to a public proof manifest. Verify inclusion without exposing contents. Third-party auditable by design.
Every week, every hunter gets the Table — a personal digest of what you caught, what you missed, and what the yard did without you. The four questions that keep people coming back are questions the incumbents have never answered for anyone.
Every domain acquired through MetaTaping earns a 49er tag — a cryptographic provenance receipt proving the acquisition came from the ground, not from a flipper resale at markup. Over time, the absence of a 49er tag becomes its own signal.
Free forever for anyone who wants to know whether a name is safe to hunt and whether a pattern is happening. Paid for operator-grade full-historical, full-scope, unlimited-rate access — because those queries are computationally expensive to run, and we'd rather charge honestly than extract invisibly.
Why we charge for Pro: running full-historical aggregation queries across millions of events is genuinely expensive on our infrastructure. The Free tier stays free because it's cheap for us to serve. Pro exists because operator-grade access would be uneconomical to give away. This is honest two-tier pricing — not a paywall on information that should be public. If we ever find a way to run Pro queries cheaper, Free gets more.
Four primitives. Each one does one thing well.

The tape · the table · the 49er tag
"The domain market has had the hunt for twenty-five years. It has never had the table. There is no reason to wait for Christ's rebirth to have a little exchange."
Your report becomes evidence on the tape. We correlate it with the prior query and any observed metadata change to confirm front-running patterns.
