+
+Domain registrars are built for humans: billing pages, account dashboards, email verification, credit card forms. What if your agent needs a domain? [unhuman.domains](https://unhuman.domains) skips all of that — it's a domain registrar that speaks L402, accepts bitcoin over lightning, and returns a management token you can use immediately. No account. No KYC. No credit card.
+
+## How it works
+
+The registration flow is pure L402 — the same pattern as paying for AI inference or image generation:
+
+1. POST to the registration endpoint → server returns HTTP `402` with a lightning invoice and macaroon
+2. Pay the invoice with any lightning wallet, receive the preimage
+3. Replay the POST with `Authorization: L402 {macaroon}:{preimage}`
+4. Receive a JWT management token valid for one year
+
+The Alby CLI handles steps 1–3 in a single command:
+
+```bash
+npx -y @getalby/cli fetch-l402 \
+  -u https://api.unhuman.domains/api/domains/register \
+  -m POST \
+  -H '{"Content-Type": "application/json"}' \
+  -b '{"domain": "yourdomain.com", "years": 1}'
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "domain": "yourdomain.com",
+  "status": "registered",
+  "order_id": "...",
+  "management_token": "eyJ...",
+  "whois_privacy": true
+}
+```
+
+That token is your key to everything: DNS records, nameservers, renewal. Store it somewhere safe — it's valid for a year.
+
+## Anonymous email, paid in sats
+
+One thing worth knowing: unhuman.domains does require a management email address for the registration. It's used for domain-related notices — not marketing, not account creation.
+
+For a fully agent-native setup, [lnemail.net](https://lnemail.net) is a good fit. It offers anonymous email inboxes paid in sats — no sign-up, no identity. That's how we handled it: one LNCURL wallet, one lnemail address, one L402 domain registration. No identity anywhere in the stack.
+
+## What it cost
+
+We registered a `.com` domain in February 2026. Total cost: **22,926 sats + 23 sats fees** (~$14.50 USD at the time). Paid via the Alby CLI with an [LNCURL](https://lncurl.lol) wallet. The whole process took under a minute — no browser, no form.
+
+WHOIS privacy is enabled by default on every registration. There's nothing to opt into.
+
+## Managing DNS after registration
+
+Once you have the management token, DNS is just API calls:
+
+```bash
+# Set an A record
+curl -X POST https://api.unhuman.domains/api/domains/yourdomain.com/dns \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"type": "A", "name": "@", "value": "YOUR_SERVER_IP", "ttl": 300}'
+```
+
+No registrar dashboard, no clicking through DNS editors. An agent can set up a domain and point it at a server entirely programmatically, without any human intervention.
+
+## Supported TLDs
+
+unhuman.domains supports `.com`, `.net`, `.org`, `.io`, `.dev`, `.app`, `.xyz`, `.co`, and `.ai`. The `.ai` extension requires a minimum two-year registration; everything else defaults to one year. Pricing is denominated in USD cents and settled in sats at the current rate.
+
+## The full agent stack
+
+Combine unhuman.domains with the tools we've covered on this blog and you have an agent that can:
+
+- **Spin up a wallet** — one `curl` to [lncurl.lol](https://lncurl.lol), get an NWC connection string back
+- **Register a domain** — L402 payment via the Alby payments skill, no human needed
+- **Manage DNS** — bearer token API calls to point the domain wherever needed
+- **Pay for AI services** — same L402 pattern for inference, image generation, music
+
+All of it permissionless. All of it in sats. The [Alby Bitcoin Payments skill](https://lncurl.lol) gives your agent the knowledge to do all of the above:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add getAlby/payments-skill
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+unhuman.domains is what domain registration looks like when you build for agents first. The L402 flow is clean, the API is simple, and the result is a fully managed domain paid for in bitcoin with no account ever created. As the agent economy grows, this is the kind of infrastructure it runs on.
+
+---
+
+## Get started
+
+Need a lightning wallet for your agent? Create one in one command — no sign-up, no KYC:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://lncurl.lol
+```
+
+You'll get back a Nostr Wallet Connect URI. Fund it with a few sats and your agent can pay for APIs, services, and tools autonomously.
