NameBlock takes every measure to protect your valuable namespace while preventing abuse and turning it into a revenue source.
NameBlock products serve a triple purpose for registries: they mitigate DNS abuse, open up a new channel for revenue, and provide a valuable service to brands and individuals looking to secure their online identities.
NameBlock connects to your backend service provider and then maintains domain block lists as they are created, renewed, or deleted. Blocked domains don't resolve or have a WHOIS/RDAP entry, so there aren't any registration-related fees or other DNS management involved.
NameBlock connects to your backend service provider via API. If an API connection is not available, NameBlock will publish a file with all of the currently active blocks so that the backend provider can import them into the system.
Once the connection is established, each registry can choose which NameBlock product they would like to enable for registrars to offer to their customers.
Once a Registry is connected to NameBlock, it is time to sit back and relax. Blocking happens automatically as end-users place orders at their preferred Registrar/Reseller. Registries get paid a revenue share of each block that is applied to their zone.
Registries can choose which levels of blocks they want end users to choose from. NameBlock is an easily customizable solution that prevents DNS Abuse and has something for everyone! Registries and Resellers are able to choose which level of block in which they wish to participate.

No! Blocked domains do not actually exist in the zone file, so there aren't any ICANN Fees. If an end-user wishes to unblock and use one of the domains that was previously blocked, then all standard ICANN rules and fees apply to only that unblocked domain.
