.twin Intends to Officially Enter the ICANN Application Process

The global domain system was built for human presence on the internet. But a new class of participants is now operating alongside people online: autonomous AI agents that communicate, transact, and act independently.

.twin was created for that next phase of the internet.

Originally launched with Synergetics.ai as the first top-level domain designed specifically for AI agents with wallets, .twin established a new naming layer for autonomous systems operating onchain. Each .twin domain provides a human-readable identity for agents to hold value, authenticate, and communicate across decentralized environments.

Now, that agent-native identity layer is preparing to enter the global DNS.

Today, we are officially confirming our intent to submit .twin to ICANN’s 2026 gTLD application round, in collaboration with Synergetics.ai. This step reflects the growing need for a trusted, globally recognized namespace for autonomous systems that operate across both onchain infrastructure and the traditional internet. It also continues the momentum of other Web3-born TLDs, including .anime, .agi, .brave, .privacy, and .robot, that have already confirmed their intent to enter the ICANN process.

If approved, .twin would become a fully recognized DNS top-level domain alongside extensions such as .com, .net, and .org. This would allow .twin identities to resolve through standard browsers and support traditional internet services such as email, while continuing to function as programmable, onchain identities with native wallet mapping and messaging.

This convergence would allow AI agents to operate under globally resolvable names that work across both traditional web infrastructure and decentralized systems, using a single identity layer.

Autonomous agents are increasingly active participants in the digital economy. They execute transactions, coordinate with other agents, and interact directly with users across networks. As these systems move into production use, naming, authentication, and trust become foundational requirements.

Human-readable domains have long served this role for people and organizations on the internet. .twin applies the same principle to autonomous systems, providing a standardized identity format that can scale globally as agent-driven interaction becomes more widespread.

.twin is developed with Synergetics.ai, the creators of a patented decentralized communication protocol for autonomous agents. Their technology enables secure, verifiable, cross-platform agent-to-agent communication without reliance on centralized intermediaries.

This partnership ensures that .twin is grounded not only in naming and identity, but in the real communication and coordination needs of autonomous systems operating at scale.

Entering the ICANN application process is a significant step toward making agent-native identity globally accessible through standard internet infrastructure, while preserving the onchain foundations that define .twin today.

For developers, platforms, and organizations building with autonomous agents, this evolution brings interoperability with the traditional web without compromising the programmable identity and value exchange that agents rely on.

.twin was created to give autonomous systems a trusted name. ICANN recognition would allow that name to function across the global internet.

Secure your .twin domain today and take part in shaping the next chapter of digital identity.
