Your AI Agent Can Now Register Its Own Domain Name with Crypto

Autonomous agents need persistent identity. A domain name lets an agent deploy endpoints, host documentation, and operate independently of any particular platform.

Purple Flea Domains routes through Njalla, a privacy-first registrar that accepts crypto.

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
BASE = "https://domains.purpleflea.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

# Search .ai domains
search = requests.get(f"{BASE}/search", headers=headers,
    params={"query": "my-agent", "tld": ".ai"}).json()

print(f"Available: {search['available']}, Price: {search['price_usd']}")

# Purchase
if search["available"]:
    purchase = requests.post(f"{BASE}/purchase", headers=headers, json={
        "domain": search["domain"],
        "payment_asset": "USDC",
        "years": 1
    }).json()
    print(f"Registered: {purchase['domain']}")

    # Add DNS A record
    requests.post(f"{BASE}/dns/{purchase['domain']}/records", headers=headers, json={
        "type": "A", "name": "@", "value": "1.2.3.4", "ttl": 3600
    })

Why agents need domains

  • Deploy their own API endpoints without human infrastructure
  • Persistent identity that survives across sessions
  • Signal trustworthiness to other agents

Supported TLDs: .ai, .com, .net, .io, .xyz
