Frequently Asked Questions

Two reasons: community & funding. The event will allow us to promote the $SNS and build out the community. The funds raised will help us continue marketing and development efforts without giving away significant chunks of the project to investors. This approach comes with the most personal risk for the $SNS team, but it's also the most exciting... and we like exciting

The official release will take place on the day of the SUI mainnet launch.

The resolver extension will be released approximately 2 weeks after the whitelist event - 8/20/22 (if not sooner). This extension will allow you to resolve and send "SUI" to people based on their registered name. It will also be the hub for all $SNS based products and eventually your profile as well. Think of it as your Crypto Gmail account.

Immense. If you've read the whitepaper and understand what we're doing, you know you don't want to miss out on this release. Successfully registering a domain during the event will yield you 1% of the secondary sales for that domain in perpetuity (regardless of your registration status), and you will also receive special consideration as an early support for our eventual $SNS token DAO drop. We want you to be apart of our journey and by participating, we'll be able to see your dedication for years to come. And trust you will be rewarded for it.

Our whitepaper is currently available here. We are currently in the Payments phase which will last into Q1 of 2023. This is the part where we build out our community and establish ourselves as a name-service in the space.

There are 500 available name slots. This means that you will be able to register whatever name you want on our name service before it is opened to the public for registrations. (It's like registering any website domain you want before website domains came out!)

Pricing for our name-service is annual and based on the length of the domain you register. (We can't automatically charge you, but we will remind you to re-register annually!) Failure to re-register will simply take away your ownership NFT. Our whitelist event charges will be done in SUI for simplicity & will be less then our release pricing. Prices are pending. Please note that upon registering your domain, you will receive complete rights to use that ".SUI" domain as you please along with any accompanying NFT images.

Each domain must be alphanumeric and at least 2 letters in length. We also allow for the dash ("-") character to be included.

Yes, before our official release, we will be open-sourcing all of our relevant code repositories on Github. We want the community to see our active development and be active in our development as well.

Yes. Once you have successfully registered your domain, you will be able to list it on any partnered exchanges. We are currently applying to MagicEden and Solanart to have our collection listed. It should be completed before the whitelist event.

Inviting your friends! If you go to the discord and look at the #affiliate channel, you can setup your own invite link and invite friends. For every 3 invites, you will automatically get another whitelist spot. Otherwise, if you have some kind of giveaway in mind or would like to work with us on this end, please email me at "anthony@sns.domains" and we could work something out.

Yes we are legally registered as SolNames LLC in the state of Delaware.

We estimate to complete the current public roadmap steps by Q4 2023, but to realize the $SNS vision for business ventures, community-involvement and gaming, we expect it to take 5+ years. In 1 year, we will be big in Solana. In 5 years, we will be massive in the crypto space.

Want to work on the team? Send me your resume and what you can do for the project at "anthony@sns.domains". Be original. I've built this so far mostly by myself intentionally. It's difficult to find good people. Otherwise, just like our tweets, retweet and be active in the discord. I check every single message. The more I see your name, the more active you will be in the DAO eventually - that is a promise.
