SNS: Name Service Now On Shibarium

A Little Backstory

SNS is your passport to everything the Shib ecosystem offers. Our transversal name service benefits users across Shib and beyond.

The product sprang from a simple yet game-changing thought conceived during the early stages of Shibarium: making blockchain addresses more user-friendly. The Shib team understands that those long strings of hexadecimal characters aren’t the most approachable things in the world. Thus, the concept of SNS was born – a system that translates complex Shibarium addresses into easy-to-remember names as part of Shibdentity. Find out more about Shibdentity on this blog post.

Major Benefits of SNS

SNS isn’t just a fancy tech toy; it addresses real-world problems, such as the following:

• Addressing Errors: No more typing in the wrong address and losing your hard-earned crypto. With SNS, names are easier to recognize and verify.
• Censorship: In regions where online censorship is a concern, SNS provides a lifeline, ensuring your online identity remains intact.
• Identity: Stand out in the crowd with a memorable name. SNS lets you establish a unique online identity.

Making Blockchain Accessible

“SNS: Your Decentralized Identity, Simplified!” – It’s not just a slogan; it’s a promise. It’s about making blockchain technology accessible and user-friendly, all while empowering users to take control of their digital identities. We want users to feel like pioneers of the future web, where blockchain and decentralized services are as user-friendly as they are revolutionary.

Imagine you have a pet grooming business and you can register a unique, creative name such as “FluffyTails.shib” or snap up your first name (e.g., emily.shib). Keep in mind that once somebody else gets their hands on the custom name you like, it’s gone and we would hate for you to miss out!

We will have a feature that enables you to buy multiple domains so get creative to maximize the use of this product.

Did we mention that you will also be allowed to resell your Shib names? That’s right… you heard it here first, and you’ll find out more about it – only here – soon.
