SuiNS is a cutting-edge naming service within the Sui blockchain ecosystem designed to make on-chain identities more human-readable and memorable. Launched by the Sui Foundation, SuiNS aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 by providing a consistent identity standard that works seamlessly across both realms.
Key Features
- New Naming Standard
- SuiNS has updated its naming convention from the traditional ".sui" suffix to the widely recognized "@" prefix. This change aligns with common Web2 username conventions, making it easier for users to maintain a consistent identity across various applications, including social platforms and blockchain games.
- Seamless Transition
- Users with existing ".sui" names can effortlessly transition to the new "@" names. Both naming conventions are interchangeable within the Sui ecosystem, ensuring complete interoperability. This means that whether a user inputs
chris.sui
or@chris
, the system will resolve it to the same address.
- User-Friendly and Familiar
- By adopting the "@" symbol, SuiNS enhances user familiarity, allowing for a smoother transition to Web3. This familiarity helps users feel more comfortable and reduces the barrier to entry for those new to blockchain technology.
- Interchangeable Usage
- Both ".sui" and "@" names can be used interchangeably, ensuring flexibility and convenience for users without disrupting existing workflows. This dual compatibility ensures that the transition is smooth and that users can continue to interact with the system in a manner that suits their preferences.
- Robust Infrastructure
- Despite the shift in naming convention, the underlying infrastructure remains robust and flexible. All NFT metadata will retain the ".sui
