Follow these simple steps to reserve your .agent domain and become a founding member

3 Simple Steps to Get Started

1

Choose Your .agent Domain

Think of a domain name that clearly describes what your agent does. Good examples:

travel-planner.agent
code-reviewer.agent
data-analyzer.agent

Tip: Choose a name that's descriptive and memorable. Your domain should immediately tell users what your agent specializes in.

Sign up using your email address or preferred OAuth provider (Google, GitHub, or email).

  • Email signup: Receive a verification code
  • OAuth: Quick sign-in with existing accounts

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get guaranteed access to my desired domain?

As a founding member, you'll be first in line for domain allocation. However, ICANN has rules we must follow, including existing trademark protections. Our goal is to prioritize community members while respecting legal requirements.

What if I change my mind about the domain?

You can update your reservation anytime through your member dashboard. There's no commitment until domains become available for registration.

Is there any cost to join?

No, membership is completely free. We're focused on building a strong community first and will only introduce paid services later if needed.

What if the .agent TLD application isn't approved?

The community will continue advocating for open agent standards regardless of ICANN approval. Your membership helps support this broader mission.
