Sui name service 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).

This project can be called a technological innovation that is already working in the SUI ecosystem, just like DNS did when it gained popularity. The idea that Sui can scale horizontally and process transactions in parallel suggests that the number of users and wallets will grow to enormous proportions every day. , resulting in the need to purchase a human-readable name tied to your wallet for convenient SUI wealth transfers.
