SuiNS is being built as a open, distributed naming service on the Sui blockchain. Our first product will be the .sui domain name extension which allows our users to start building their on-chain identity on Sui. Our goal is to build a fair and distributed name service that gives equal access to all and provides a unique experience. 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).
