From Birth to Identity: Domains as the Certificates of AI Agents

The dawn of the next digital revolution has arrived. Artificial Intelligence is evolving beyond mere tools, giving rise to autonomous agents that think, act, and connect. Much like humans, these AI agents require a reliable means to establish their identity, engage in transactions, and be easily located.

📖 About

AI agents are taking center stage on the internet landscape, performing tasks such as booking flights, managing investment portfolios, designing products, and even operating businesses for their human users. To function securely, these agents need identity, trust, and accountability.

The Vision

Domain names are optimally positioned to fulfill this need. While blockchain wallets and random identifiers have their place, they lack the human readability, governance, and trust inherent in DNS systems.

Domains will become the trusted identifiers — for example, AI@myassistant.ai or agent123.sbs — signifying the official birth and authenticity of each AI agent.

Why Domains for AI Agents

Identity & Trust

Domains provide AI agents with a transparent, verifiable online presence.

Discoverability

Users and machines can effortlessly locate an agent by its domain name.

Accountability

Registries and registrars supply governance frameworks to ensure accountability.

Interoperability

Domains seamlessly connect the Web2 and Web3 ecosystems.

Scalability

As billions of AI agents come online, domain registries will scale to accommodate expansion.

Growth Opportunity for Registries

Currently, over 400 million domains are operational.

By 2030, projections suggest over 1 billion AI agents will be active globally. Each of these agents will require at least one domain identity, driving exponential growth in registries.

Domain registries that integrate AI are poised to lead a new era, not just in hosting human websites but also in bestowing birth certificates to the AI agents shaping our digital world.
