NIP-05 is a form of identity here.

The @handlenames you see are not unique - so NIP-05 acts as an identifier that's tied to you.
They associate your public key(npub) with a domain/website, which is supposed to verify that it's indeed you who is using this Nostr account.
Devs/techies who have their own domain can use that but others use services like nostrplebs.com

uselessshit.co/resources/nostr has some guides on NIP-05
