Hi, need help with my domain settings. What should I place in AAAA DNS record field in my Domain Name settings to make it point to my digitalocean's IP? Thanks.

Hostname should be the subdomain that you want to point to your droplet (or "@" if you want to add a record for the domain itself) and Value should be set to your IPv6 IP address.

Kamal, thanks you for fast answer,

But where can I find IPv6 IP address of my digitalocean account?

Each droplet has one IPv6 address, so you can have multiple IPv6 addresses per account.
Unfortunately, at this time, IPv6 is only available to some customers as part of the public IPv6 beta test. See https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocean/suggestions/2639897-ipv6-addresses for more details.
