What is a Name Service? Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow…
Name Services were originally built as a way for humans and machines to communicate over a network. Instead of using an IP address (e.g. 127.0.0.1), users could refer to other users on a network with a simple name (e.g. localhost). The first Name Services were centralized and used for a small number of individuals. In fact, they were so centralized they basically lived as a single file on a personal computer. But as the Internet grew, a new system was built in the 1980s: The Domain Name Syste...

How Sui name service (build)
Every domain name has a resolver.The resolver stores text records and a reference to the domain NFT object.A domain NFT is owned by the wallet address and can be transferred freely.Domains always resolve to the wallet that owns their domain NFT.A wallet can have a profile without a domain name. Please note: all api queries are made on chain. The SNS does not store any domain or profile data, other than profile pictures for devnet. On Mainnet, they will be uploaded to the IPFS.

More about sui name servie:
The SuiNS team doesn’t want to build “just another Name Service” on “just another blockchain”. That’s one of the main reasons we chose Sui.

Some may be a website, others a profile, most are adopted as Usernames. SuiNS ...
