In October 2012, Donuts announced that they would use [[Architelos]]' NameSentry [[SaaS|software-as-a-service]] to detect and mitigate domain name abuse. The patent-pending NameSentry application protects new gTLDs from phishing, malware, spam, botnets and other types of abuse. It is the first independent, third-party resource of its kind for the domain name industry.<ref>[http://www.domainnamenews.com/up-to-the-minute/donuts-to-use-architelos-namesentry/12158 Donuts To Use Architelos NameSentry], DomainNameNews.com.

===Auctions===

During [[ICANN 45]] in Toronto, auction expert [[Peter Cramton]] outlined a private [[gTLD auctions|gTLD auction]] model as a solution for resolving 158 new gTLD contention sets. Donuts co-founder [[Jon Nevett]] says that Donuts will handle as many of its contention sets as possible via this method, as auctions will be cheaper and faster for applicants than ICANN's original method. "The cost of losing an ICANN auction is greater than the cost of losing a private auction," Nevett said. "If you lose an ICANN auction you get nothing, zero, you lose your asset... [but with private auctions] it doesn't hurt as much to lose, so the theory is the second-place guys won't stretch as much."<ref>[http://domainincite.com/10828-heres-how-donuts-wants-to-resolve-its-158-new-gtld-contention-fights Here's how Donuts wants to resolve its 158 new gTLD contention fights].
