Public namespace: .bot
A human-readable top-level domain reserved for automated services, so anyone can tell at a glance that they are talking to a bot.
( ICANN next-round gTLD application )
Dot Bot is building the .bot registry initiative — a verifiable namespace where bots, their operators and their services can be published, verified and found across the open internet.

Bots are autonomous software entities that act on behalf of people, companies and other systems. They schedule, transact, monitor and negotiate — continuously, and often without a human watching the screen.
Unlike an app that waits for a click, a bot interprets context, coordinates with other systems and decides what to do next. That makes identity the missing primitive: you cannot hold something accountable if you cannot name it.
.bot pairs a human-readable name with a verifiable identifier, so trust scales as fast as automation does.

Verifiable identifiers bind a name to its operator, its capabilities and its accountability record — signed, resolvable and revocable.

Multistakeholder governance keeps the namespace open, rights-respecting and secure as it scales from prototypes to critical infrastructure.
