Just got an e-mail that ZFA for .TOP had been revoked as the gTLD had been made inactive.
"Request revoked as TLD has been made inactive."
Checked another stats site and it was showing 0 domain names in the zone which may indicate that it didn't get today's zone.
Has .TOP gTTLD been made inactive or is this a problem on the CZDS or with the .TOP registry?
Nothing as yet noted in <https://icannwiki.org/.top>. The TLD zone and its delegations appear quite live, a random sample of 10 known signed delegations are all still working.

The gTLD is still active in the DNS but it seems that the message in the CZDS is that the TLD has been made inactive. Not sure if it is a problem with the CZDS. The request was on automatic renewal and that tick appears beside it.There were 2,743 ZFA-passwords for the gTLD in the January 2026 ZFA report on the CZDS.
