NIP-05. Also called Vanity Addresses.

On my profile you see below my name mananguri@onlynostr.club. That's a NIP-05 address. Anyone can call themselves Mananguri, but only I have access to the mananguri@onlynostr.club registration PIN.

I can also use that NIP-05 address as my lightning wallet address too. You just point the address to your own lightning wallet. It's really simple to setup. Check it out.
