What is a Web3 domain?

Web3 domains are domains that live on a public blockchain and give users complete ownership of their stored data. The main benefits to owning one are simplifying crypto transactions by replacing wallet addresses with the domain name and easily creating and hosting websites on web3.

If you haven’t heard yet, web3 domains are the newest kids on the block(chain) and they have the power to change what we know of as the internet today. But before we dive into all that goodness, let’s take a step back to run through what traditional domains are and define NFTs — that way, you can truly understand the superpowers behind web3 domains.

Typically, you interact with a traditional domain when you type the address (like Twitter.com) into your browser. But did you know traditional domains were originally built to do so much more on the internet? Think of functionalities like email and payments. Hard to believe, right?

But as we can see, traditional domains haven’t progressed much beyond displaying websites. This might be because traditional domains have been controlled by centralized servers since the internet was created. This made it much more difficult for developers to innovate on top of that technology.

Luckily for us, the tech that powers web3 domains (a.k.a. blockchains) opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for us on the web!

WHY WE NEED : Sui Name Service (SNS)

This is not another ENS Copy.

We're taking the idea of a name service and building an empire.

The same projects, found on Ethereum and Solana, are now coming to Sui with little distinction. Examples of this are name services that are almost exact copies of ENS, or DeFi exchanges that are not made for mass adoption. This is a problem because...

"It is not the tech that makes the chain, it is the projects."

Blockchain, identity and domains are useless without purpose. That is why we are building core social services and gaming infrastructure along with it. All you need is a free Sui profile, and you can use any of our corresponding services. (No .sui domain necessary)

We are the first self-sustaining identity & payment protocol in Crypto.

Our goal is to build products that will bring and keep web2 users to Sui. As we continue to grow, we will release services and eventually games on Sui. But that is not all... Click here to know more about Sui Name Service (SNS)
