# Transition from .meta to .mpc

Acknowledging the value of community input, we observed requests to **change the** [**Meta Names**](https://docs.metanames.app/) **top-level domain from .meta to .mpc**. The migration was put to a community vote, which has since closed.

{% hint style="success" %}
**This proposal passed and the migration is complete.** Every domain now uses the `.mpc` top-level domain, and the vote is closed. This page is kept as a record of the decision.
{% endhint %}

### Migration impacts

The migration from `.meta` to `.mpc` had the following outcomes:

1. All domains were migrated, so **they did not need to be registered again** and **ownership was retained**;
2. All links using `.meta` domains redirect to `.mpc`.

### Reasons for the Domain Transition to MPC

Switching to `.mpc` offers several advantages:

1. Adopting `.mpc` prevents **conflicts with Meta** Platforms (formerly Facebook), **avoiding trademark issues** and distinguishing our brand;
2. `.mpc`'s shorter length makes it **more premium;**
3. The `.mpc` domain **enhances visibility in the** [**Partisia**](https://partisiablockchain.com) **ecosystem**, aligning with its chain token (`$MPC`).

### Conclusion

The transition from `.meta` to `.mpc` was a strategic move for [Meta Names](https://docs.metanames.app/) in the long term: it **mitigates potential trademark conflicts** with Meta Platforms and **strengthens brand visibility** within the Partisia ecosystem.
