@cypherpunks So, it is one domain per one account now? How to verify that? Also, it is ineffecient if that verification involves some DNS management or some rel=me like Mastodon does (and it is easy to remove both of that, how to handle that?).

No, from their examples it appears that there can be many accounts under a single domain, using subdomains.

@cypherpunks Well, how about the verification? Is it DNS or rel=me or something like that? Who is gonna verify that?

it's DIDs in DNS. you can read more here: https://atproto.com/guides/identity

so, your DID (which includes a pubkey) is actually your identity, and you can change your handle without changing your DID.

It doesn't exactly say it on the page i linked, but iiuc their plan is also that while today handles are all names ending with ICANN TLDs in the future they could also be under alternative TLDs defined by ✨blockchains✨.
