What is SNS?
SNS (Solana Name Service) turns Solana wallet addresses into readable .sol names. Its docs list .sol prices from $20 for 5+ characters up to $750 for a single character, payable in the USD equivalent of a chosen token or by card via Coinflow. Paying in FIDA gives a 5% discount. The SNS token launched with an airdrop that excluded US users.
How SNS works
A .sol domain maps a readable name to on-chain data, most often a Solana wallet address, but also IPFS content, images and text records.
At purchase the domain is linked automatically to the wallet that signs the transaction, so it works right away. You can add profile fields such as avatar, website and social handles, and create unlimited subdomains for the cost of SOL gas.
Domains can be wrapped into an NFT: the domain moves to an escrow account and the program mints an NFT to you, and unwrapping burns the NFT and returns the domain. A wrapped domain cannot be edited or transferred as a domain. Names longer than 32 UTF-8 characters or mixing languages cannot be wrapped. SNS reserves some names to prevent impersonation; they show as Reserved by SNS.
How to start with SNS
- Connect a Solana wallet at sns.id, search a name and click Register.
- At checkout you can pay in a token of your choice, apply a discount, and toggle the name as your primary domain.
- You can also pay by credit card through Coinflow.
- One wallet can hold any number of domains.
- Taken names may still be for sale on the SNS Marketplace; keep SOL for transaction fees when buying.
- To list on Magic Eden or other markets, wrap the domain first.
SNS fees and limits
- Registration is priced in USD and charged as the equivalent in your chosen token: $750 for 1 character, $700 for 2, $640 for 3, $160 for 4 and $20 for 5 or more.
- Paying with FIDA takes 5% off.
Subdomains cost only SOL gas. Secondary-market purchases are priced by the seller in the listing currency.
Risks to know before using SNS
- Transfers are irreversible, so a typo in the recipient address loses the domain.
- If funds are sent to a wrapped domain, the docs say they go to whoever unwraps it last, so unwrap and recover funds before selling the NFT.
- Profile content you add is visible to everyone.
- The SNS token has a 10 billion supply, with 8.75% for core contributors on a 4-year lock, and the docs state airdrop claims were not available to US users.
