Interesting. From the web page:

"This domainname, is DNSSEC signed with this algorithm."

Yet:

dana@araman:~$ whois ed25519.nl

Domain name: ed25519.nl

Status: active

Registrar: TransIP BV Schipholweg 9b 2316XB LEIDEN Netherlands

Abuse Contact:

DNSSEC: no

Domain nameservers: mango.plexis.eu pdns-public-ns1.powerdns.com pdns-public-ns2.powerdns.com

Record maintained by: NL Domain Registry

...

I'm inclined to believe the claims of the web site without checking. It's just interesting that:

1. The whois data for .nl is taking some interest in DNSSEC

2. That they are wrong about it being DNSSEC signed.

My (weak) guess is that whatever they are using to get the DNSSEC information doesn't understand Ed25519.

I've checked, it's definitely signed:

The zone may be signed locally, but the DS records for ed25519.nl haven’t (when I checked myself just now) yet been exported into the TLD zone. It’s basically equivalent to a self-signed certificate. The lack of DS records in the TLD zone is the reason why WHOIS says "DNSSEC: no".

The .nl registry does not support algo 15 (and 16) for DS records yet. Support is expected soon.
