1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining that a domain name is available for re-registration;
sending, based at least in part on the domain name being available for re-registration, a first message to an executable program of a blockchain network that:
configures the executable program to identify the domain name as available for re-registration; and
configures a deed contract associated with the domain name to request information for verifying a first registrant associated with the domain name; and
sending, based at least in part on receiving a request to re-register the domain name, a second message to the executable program that configures the executable program to cause re-registration of the domain name to a second registrant.
