The process of purchasing a digital identity in the Shiba Inu ecosystem now has a more sophisticated front door. The Shib Name Service (SNS) Marketplace went live this week, launching not as a trading floor for old names, but as a streamlined storefront for new ones. While peer-to-peer selling is part of a future vision, this initial launch focuses entirely on making the experience of buying a .shib name more accessible than ever.

This marks a significant evolution for the service, which first went live in late 2023. In its initial phase, the service established a strong cultural foundation, with .shib names serving as powerful symbols of identity. This week’s launch builds a new layer of professional utility on top of that foundation.

A New Market With Familiar Tools

The SNS Marketplace is built with accessibility in mind, offering a suite of familiar e-commerce mechanics. The platform is built for discovery and convenience, featuring a real-time search function with smart recommendations to help users find available names.

The most significant new features are the shopping cart and multi-currency payment options. Users can now browse for multiple domains, add them to a single cart, and complete the purchase in one transaction. Payments are accepted in a range of cryptocurrencies, including BONE, SHIB, ETH, or USDC, broadening access for all participants.

Once purchased, the names are controlled through a management dashboard where users can configure their domains and set a primary identity. Because each name is a unique digital asset—an NFT—ownership is permanent and verifiable.

An Economy of Scarcity and Status

While the marketplace does not yet facilitate selling, it does establish a clear economic system for its digital real estate. Value is codified directly into the dynamic pricing for all new name purchases.

Shorter, more memorable names of just three or four characters are treated as premium property, costing the equivalent of $100. Longer domains are more accessible, priced between $10 and $50. This tiered structure creates an inherent sense of scarcity and status, encouraging users to secure valuable or meaningful names before they are claimed by others.

When Names Become Property

While the immediate initial focus is on purchasing, developers see the SNS Marketplace as a critical step toward a much larger vision. This purchase-focused launch is a foundational step. A professional and robust system for acquiring names is a prerequisite for a true, two-sided market where users can also sell their assets.

The long-term vision for concepts like “DomainFi” — where names could be used as collateral or leased out — depends on a clear and organized system of ownership. By professionalizing the front end for primary sales, developers are paving the way for more complex infrastructure, including a future secondary market, to be built on top.

The .shib Revolution: Inside the New Shib Name Service Marketplace

This upgraded platform, then, is more than a simple storefront; it is the necessary foundation upon which the ecosystem’s future financial ambitions will be built. For now, the focus is not on what a name is worth to someone else, but on securing your own identity before it’s gone.

The .shib Revolution: Inside the New Shib Name Service Marketplace

For this vision to work, there must first be a liquid market capable of establishing fair valuations. The SNS marketplace is designed to be exactly that infrastructure.

Identity as the New Asset

With the new Shib Name Service Marketplace now live, .shib names have crossed the line from culture to commerce. They are no longer just identifiers or digital badges — they are assets, subject to price discovery, speculation, and ownership disputes.

And that shift leaves the community with a provocative new reality: in this economy, identity itself is the asset.

They look like names, but Shib Name Service acts like shields.

Shib Name is now live across the Shiba Inu ecosystem, marking the launch of its first native identity infrastructure—Shib Name Service (SNS). Integrated into Shib.io, the new system replaces long, error-prone wallet addresses with short, memorable .shib names for users who’ve claimed and linked theirs. It’s a small interface change with major security implications—and a deliberate move toward a more human-friendly, future-ready onchain identity.

It’s a small interface change with major security implications—and a deliberate move toward a more human-friendly, future-ready onchain identity.

Shib Name in Action: Display and Utility

For the average user, SNS operates on two levels:

Platform Display: If you own a .shib name, it now automatically replaces your address across Shib.io. No setup needed.

Wallet Utility: To send/receive crypto using your name (e.g., yourname.shib), a one-time wallet connection is required—typically via MetaMask and a simple browser extension or snap-in.

Once linked, your .shib name becomes a fully functional alias for your wallet address—usable anywhere it’s supported across the SHIB ecosystem.

Shiba Inu emphasized that the transition is designed to be gradual and inclusive. Those who have yet to claim a name can continue to interact across the Shiba Inu ecosystem using their traditional wallet addresses, ensuring the platform remains fully functional for all users. 

As part of the ongoing rollout, the project is offering a temporary price reduction on new Shib Name registrations through the end of September to help accelerate adoption.

Scam-Proofing with Simplicity

The true power of Shib Name Service lies in how it lowers the risk of fraud and human error. Traditional wallet addresses—those endless strings of characters—are famously easy to mistype and hard to verify. Scammers exploit this. Shib Name flips that dynamic.

“Human-readable names instead of complex wallet addresses. A unified Shib identity across products. A smoother, more personal experience,” ShadowHunter, a pseudonymous engineering manager in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, told The Shib. “If you’ve claimed your Shib Name, you’re already set. If not—it’s time to secure your place in the ShibVerse.”

By making addresses easier to verify and remember, SHIB isn’t just simplifying crypto—it’s building security into the user experience itself.

Building the Groundwork for a Secure Identity

This security-focused rollout is the preparatory phase for a much larger ambition: a comprehensive digital identity system dubbed “Shib Identity.”

The Shib Name Service is intended to be the anchor for a user’s entire digital life within the ecosystem. An attestation service, which is currently being tested, according to ShadowHunter, will allow users to claim on-chain roles and build a verifiable reputation tied directly to that name. This means a user’s identity could eventually carry a full history of their contributions and credentials.

This rollout represents a quiet but significant choice: to build the future of digital identity not on complex, machine-first code, but on a human-centric foundation designed for security from the start. The question now is what kind of digital life its users will choose to build with these new tools.

Shiba Inu Deploys A New Security Layer, Shib Name Service/d3

Future updates will allow .shib names to anchor:

  • Reputation scores
  • Onchain roles
  • Verifiable credentials
  • Community-based attestations

Over time, each .shib name could become a living identity, carrying the history, trust, and social capital of its owner across dApps and decentralized services.

This change goes deeper than design. It marks a quiet shift from machine logic to something more human—where identity can be recognized, remembered, and trusted. With SNS, it’s no longer just about wallets but about the people behind them.

Your wallet says what you own. Your name says who you are.

As Shib Identity takes shape, one question remains:

Will you be just another address—or something more?

As DomainFi gains momentum, Shiba Inu emerges not just prepared — but pioneering the future of self-sovereign identity.

The internet is getting an upgrade — and your name is about to be worth a lot more than you think. In a silent revolution, domain names are breaking free from the vaults of Web2, shedding their static past to become liquid, programmable, and sovereign digital assets. It’s called DomainFi. And ecosystems like Shiba Inu, which have been quietly building toward this moment, are now positioned at the forefront of the internet’s next era.

The Illusion of Ownership: Why Domains Are Broken

Despite its decentralized sheen, the internet has long rested on centralized rails. Your domain name — arguably the core of your digital identity — is leased, not owned. It can be revoked, censored, or frozen by authorities. Worse, it’s economically inert: even if worth millions, it can’t earn yield, be used as collateral, or connect to your on-chain life.

This creates a dangerous illusion. You think you own your domain, but in reality, you’re renting space in someone else’s system — subject to arbitrary policies, legal jurisdictions, and opaque decision-making. One legal takedown, one breach of terms, or one expired renewal, and your digital identity disappears overnight.

Even at the financial level, traditional domains are stranded assets. A premium .com could sit on a balance sheet valued at seven figures, yet it can’t be unlocked, borrowed against, or made to generate income. It just sits there — valuable, but untouchable. This is a glaring inefficiency, especially in an era where everything is being tokenized.

More importantly, domains are disconnected from the rest of your digital life. They don’t plug into your wallet, your credentials, or your on-chain history. They don’t evolve with you. They don’t learn or respond. In a world moving toward composable, identity-driven systems, they’re relics of a web designed for static pages, not sovereign people.

Introducing DomainFi: Turning Names into Capital

DomainFi represents a new frontier: domain names reimagined as programmable financial assets. At the vanguard is D3 Global — founded by domain industry OG Fred Hsu and fresh off a $25 million Paradigm-led raise. Their mission isn’t to retrofit legacy DNS — it’s to build Web3-native naming systems designed for composability, self-custody, and capital efficiency.

“Tokenization of domains isn’t just about slicing up a domain,” Hsu said. “It’s about activating it — giving it utility, liquidity, and life. We’ve called domains digital land since 2001. Now, we make them productive. Innovation in this space isn’t optional anymore — it’s overdue.”

DomainFi Is the New Alpha — And Shiba Inu Is Ahead of the Pack

What DomainFi Unlocks

DomainFi unlocks a world of new possibilities:

  • Onchain Liquidity: No more gatekeeping by registrars or escrow services. Tokenized domains can be swapped, leased, or used as DeFi collateral in real time.
  • Programmable Utility: Domains become wallets, decentralized websites, or composable identity primitives — not just web addresses.
  • Yield-Bearing Potential: Stake or lease your domain. In DomainFi, a name can generate passive income — just like any productive asset.
  • Capital-Efficient Ownership: Own fractions, co-govern premium names, or tap into micro-economies of naming — all with transparent, programmable rules.

The Shiba Inu Strategy: Vision Meets Execution

Long before “DomainFi” had a name, Shiba Inu was laying the groundwork. The ecosystem’s Shib Identity architecture was designed from the start for decentralized self-ownership. 

The first tangible product of this vision was the Shib Name Service (SNS). But the goal was never just a name. 

Through its collaboration with D3, SNS is set to plug directly into the financial engine Doma Protocol is building, transforming every .shib name into a programmable asset on day one.

But an asset is only as valuable as the ecosystem built around it. To ignite that development for the .shib ecosystem, D3 has introduced the Doma Forge grant program through its Doma Protocol — a $1 million fund to incentivize builders to create the first wave of DeFi applications on top of .shib domains. 

The objective? A self-sustaining financial ecosystem where digital names earn yield, power transactions, and build credit — without ever giving up control.

DomainFi Is the New Alpha — And Shiba Inu Is Ahead of the Pack

Names Have Power Again

We stand at a critical juncture. One path repeats the mistakes of Web2 — centralized gatekeepers, illiquid capital, fragmented identity. The other unlocks a new era of ownership, where your name becomes your most valuable digital asset.

Shiba Inu has already chosen its path. DomainFi is no longer speculative — it’s the foundation of the next internet.

The future of your digital identity won’t wait. Either you control your name — or someone else will. This isn’t about being early anymore. It’s about not being too late.

As a reader of our coverage on the future of digital identity, you are invited to be among the first to claim your onchain identity in the new .shib ecosystem.

The crypto world’s about to get a lot more personal. The Shib Name Service (SNS). It started as a simple fix for messy transactions. Now it’s reshaping what identity looks like inside the Shiba Inu ecosystem. And for those paying attention, that cute “.shib” name might soon be worth more than just bragging rights.

Shiba Inu’s push into decentralized identity kicked off in late 2023 with a promise: no more dealing with strings of numbers like “0xCD4C52…” just to send or receive crypto. Now, with the Shib Name Service live on Shibarium, what started as a user-friendly naming system is shaping up to be something much bigger—a way to own a piece of the next internet.

How the Shib Name Service Can Turn Names Into Assets

The Shib Name Service lets users register “.shib” names linked directly to their Shibarium wallets. It’s like Ethereum Name Service, but for the Shib Army—and faster, thanks to Shibarium’s Layer 2 network.

When SNS launched on October 31, 2023, Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama teased it as “the first of many treats.” Those early registrations were placeholders, but the real shift came with version 1.1 on March 5, 2024.

“The Shib Name Service (SNS) v1.1 is now live!” lead developer Kaal Dhairya posted at the time. “This upgrade brings enhanced interoperability and a snapshot for existing holders. We’re excited to see how this strengthens the Shib ecosystem.”

But it’s not just about shorter addresses anymore. As Kusama later explained, SNS is also the starting point for Shibdentity — an entire decentralized identity platform designed to give users full control of their online personas. “Shib Name Service is the first on the way of creating Shibdentity,” he said, outlining features like verifiable credentials, self-custodial authentication, and future smart wallets.

And then there’s the big play: making “.shib” an official, globally recognized top-level domain (TLD) on the regular web. That’s where D3 Global comes in, currently leading efforts to apply through ICANN.

“We’re working with @D3inc to #InvadeTheInternet by applying for the .shib TLD,” Kusama confirmed. “This will allow us to tap into infrastructure that is used by 5.3 BILLION people worldwide.”

Shib Name Service: Your Digital Passport in the New World

DomainFi: Turning Names Into Money

Here’s where the story gets interesting for anyone thinking about future profits.

You mint a Shib Name like “woofy.shib” because it’s fun, sure. But as D3 explained recently, that same playful tag could soon act like digital real estate.

“Old domains just pointed to websites,” D3 explained in a contribution to The Shib Magazine. “Shib Names will allow you to do so much more.” Imagine these possibilities, powered by emerging infrastructure like Doma Protocol:

  • Earn Passive Income: “Lease your domain to earn steady passive income, think digital real estate rent.” Your coveted “.shib” name could generate returns while you sleep.
  • Unlock Liquidity: “Use your domain as collateral to unlock liquidity and fuel your next big Shib venture.” Your digital identity becomes a source of capital.
  • Shared Ownership & Investment: The potential for fractionalizing ownership means multiple investors could share in a high-value name’s appreciation.
  • True Multi-Chain Presence: With plans for seamless cross-chain bridging, your “.shib” identity and its associated value can follow you wherever the Shiba Inu ecosystem expands.

With these features, the Shib Name Service goes beyond utility—it becomes a new kind of financial instrument. Think decentralized finance (DeFi), but built on the cultural muscle of Shiba Inu’s global community. D3 calls it DomainFi—and it’s starting to look like the next phase of crypto’s evolution.

Shib Name Service: Your Digital Passport in the New World

Shibdentity and Shib Name Service: The Powerhouse Behind Your .shib Name

Shib Name Service is the doorway to something bigger: Shibdentity. This is where naming meets ownership. 

As Kusama put it, “Shib Name Service is the first on the way of creating Shibdentity—a decentralized identity platform that empowers users to own and control their digital identities.” It’s not just about having a readable address—it’s about a real digital agency. 

Your .shib name isn’t only a shortcut for transactions; it’s also the key to private logins, verifiable credentials you control, and encrypted peer-to-peer messaging—all built to W3C standards. The future of identity in Shibarium starts here.

Culture Is Currency: Why Shib Name Service Matters

Underneath all the tech is something that can’t be programmed: culture. And that’s what makes the Shib Name Service different from typical naming systems.

“Shib is more than a meme. It’s a worldwide tribe,” D3 said. Names like “magazine.shib” or “daily.shib” aren’t just cute handles but digital flags, signaling membership in a movement that’s part finance, part fandom, part rebellion against the status quo of centralized tech.

And with Doma Protocol’s mainnet targeting Q3 2025, the foundation for leasing, collateralization, and programmable domain logic is almost here. If D3 succeeds in securing official ICANN approval for “.shib,” the value of these domains could explode, much like early internet domains that later sold for millions.

Shib Name Service: Your Digital Passport in the New World

Claiming a Stake in the Next Web

For Shiba Inu’s builders, this isn’t theory but a strategy. “Think of it as a multichain, cross-platform username that will make your Web3 journey way better,” Kusama wrote when unveiling SHIB Name Tokens tied to SNS.

And it’s not just the developers talking. The Shib community has been steadily claiming their names, from “vault.shib” to “coffeeshop.shib,” with chatter picking up on Telegram, Discord, and X.

It’s a rare moment where culture, tech, and crypto incentives all line up. The Shib Name Service allowing the creation of .shib names aren’t decorative but digital passports, potentially carrying reputation, assets, and even income across the metaverse, dApps, or decentralized messaging platforms still in development.

As D3 put it: “Owning a Shib Name means owning your stake in the internet’s future.”

That’s the bet the Shiba Inu ecosystem is making. Not just for the Shib Army, but for anyone who thinks the next wave of the web should belong to its users, not just the platforms that profit from them.

The Shib Name Service isn’t just a shortcut but a foundation. Kusama’s vision is clear: give people the tools to own their digital identities—and maybe their digital wealth, too. 

The next move is yours. Claim your name. Shape what comes next. Build something that lasts.

The launch of the ShibDAO is exciting, a huge step forward for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. But with any big innovation, questions naturally arise. How does it really work? What do I need to do? How can I make my voice heard? We’ve gathered some of the most common queries to give you clear, straightforward answers about navigating the ShibDAO.

Q: What exactly is the ShibDAO?

A: The ShibDAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is the new community-led governance system for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. It allows token holders to propose, debate, and vote on key decisions that affect the future of projects like Shibarium, the SHIB Metaverse, tokenomics, partnerships, and more. Think of it as the community’s steering wheel.

Q: Which Shiba Inu tokens can I use to participate in the ShibDAO?

A: You can participate in the ShibDAO by staking any of the four core Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens: SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT.

Q: How do I get voting power?

A: You get voting power by staking your SHIB, BONE, LEASH, or TREAT tokens into the ShibDAO’s smart contract. 

Unlock ShibDAO: Staking, Voting, and Powering the Future

Q: What kinds of things can the community vote on through the ShibDAO?

A: The community can vote on a wide range of important topics, including:

  • Upgrades and new features for ecosystem platforms (Shibarium, ShibHub, Game Hub, etc.).
  • How the community treasury funds are used and which projects receive grants.
  • Changes to token utility or emission schedules for SHIB, BONE, LEASH, or TREAT.
  • Proposals for strategic partnerships or new exchange listings.
  • Mechanics for the SHIB Metaverse, NFT utility, or gameplay changes.
  • Prioritizing different items on the Shiba Inu roadmap.

Q: What is a Shib Name (SNS), and how does it relate to the ShibDAO?

A: A Shib Name (SNS) is your unique, personalized Web3 identity within the Shiba Inu ecosystem (e.g., “YourName.shib”). Beyond just being an identity, owning an SNS will also give you the ability to launch your own DAO, using the ShibDAO framework. This means individual communities or projects can self-govern under the Shiba Inu umbrella.

Unlock ShibDAO: Staking, Voting, and Powering the Future

Q: How do I actually vote or see current proposals in the ShibDAO?

A: The primary portal for interacting with the ShibDAO, viewing active proposals, and casting your votes will be Shib.io/dao. Keep an eye on official Shiba Inu channels for specific guides and tutorials as features roll out.

Q: What if I have a great idea for a proposal for the ShibDAO?

A: If you have accumulated enough VE Power through staking, you will have the ability to formally submit your own proposals for the ShibDAO community to consider and vote on. There will likely be a minimum VE Power threshold to create proposals to ensure serious consideration.

Q: Can I delegate my voting power if I can’t always vote myself?

A: Yes, the ShibDAO framework is expected to include a delegation feature. This means if you hold VE power but can’t always actively participate in votes, you can delegate your voting power to another trusted community member or representative who can vote on your behalf.

Q: Is the ShibDAO secure?

A: The ShibDAO is built using smart contracts on the blockchain, which are designed to be transparent and immutable. The ShibDAO is all about empowering the community. We hope these answers help you understand how you can be a part of this exciting new chapter in Shiba Inu’s journey. For the latest details and guides, always refer to official Shiba Inu resources and announcements!

What exactly are *SHIB Name Tokens?

Think of them as your passport to the decentralized world. These tokens, bearing a ‘*’ instead of a traditional dot that you associate with internet domains, are currently limited to Web3 functionality. They act as expressions of interest for future .SHIB domains, which are expected to be available within the next 2-3 years. Once these domains launch, you’ll be able to claim your equivalent, granting you a true piece of the Web3 landscape.

How much does it cost to own a Shib Name?

Prices start at a budget-friendly $10 per name per year for standard names. There are also premium tiers offering additional features, ranging from $50 to $9,000 per year. But wait, there’s more! Use the exclusive code “SHIBMAG” at checkout and get a whopping 69% discount on your first cart of up to 20 *SHIB Names, bringing the starting price down to just $3.10 each!

Registering your Shib Name is easy.

The D3 platform accepts both fiat and crypto, including Shiba Inu’s very own $SHIB token. Whether you’re a seasoned crypto enthusiast or just starting out, D3 offers a smooth and accessible registration process. Remember that existing .shib names from the Shib Name Service (SNS) have been seamlessly transitioned to the new platform, offering users their upgraded Shib Names from D3 directly in their wallets.

Star Power: The * vs. the .

Eagle-eyed readers might notice that Shib Names use a “*” instead of the familiar “.”. This is because they currently function within the Web3 realm and serve as a placeholder for the upcoming .SHIB Top-Level Domain (TLD). Once available, users will be able to claim their corresponding .SHIB domain for a truly unified digital presence.

Beyond the Name: A Spectrum of Functionality

Shib Names are more than just cool monikers. They offer a plethora of exciting features, including:

  • Multichain Wallet: Your Shib Name acts as a single address across hundreds of EVM-compatible blockchains, streamlining your crypto management.
  • Cross-Platform Web3 Username: Seamlessly move between various DeFi, GameFi, social media, and other platforms using your unique Shib Name.
  • Decentralized Identity: Identify smart contracts, validators, nodes, and dApps with ease, fostering trust and transparency in the decentralized ecosystem.

Picking Your Perfect Shib Name

The best part is you have complete creative freedom.

Mark your calendars, #ShibArmy! The long-awaited early access to *shib name tokens is just around the corner, launching on March 5.

Remember that epic partnershib announcement with D3 back in December? That’s right, these name tokens are poised to become your future-proof, interoperable digital identities, complete with a shot at the coveted “.shib” TLD during the upcoming ICANN application window.

Current Shib Name Service (SNS) holders will be among the first to receive their “upgraded” *shib names, granting them exclusive access before the gates open to everyone. But that’s not all! Exciting details about the launch, including special offers for the Shib community, will be revealed in next week’s edition.

What Are *SHIB Name Tokens?

Think of your *shib name token (represented as, say, yourname*SHIB) as your single address for everything on Web3. It’s a multi-chain, cross-platform identity that empowers you to:

  • Ditch complex wallet addresses: Replace those long strings of characters with a human-readable, easy-to-remember name.
  • Unify your Web3 experience: Use your *shib name across DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, and other dApps, seamlessly connecting your various activities.
  • Identify and manage Web3 infrastructure: Easily pinpoint specific smart contracts, nodes, bridges, and more.
  • Host your own decentralized corner: Build and host decentralized websites and dApps using *shib names and IPFS.

What Does It Mean for the Shib Ecosystem?

With over 5 billion users worldwide, the internet relies on domain name systems (DNS) for accessibility and seamless navigation across millions of websites. While Web3 ecosystems require users to download dedicated software, they still depend on DNS for their online presence and brand identity, highlighting the importance of domains in sustaining trust and belonging.

As Web3 becomes more prominent, integrating with established DNS infrastructure is essential for its success. D3 is setting up interoperability between legacy internet and Web3 infrastructure, focusing on the crucial role of DNS in the future of the internet. This is why they are partnering with leading Web3 projects, including Shib, to help them secure TLDs tailored to the Web3 space.


Excited to learn more about the specific functionalities, early access details, and community-exclusive offers? Stay tuned for next week’s edition of The Shib Magazine, here.

A Little Backstory

SNS is your passport to everything the Shib ecosystem offers. Our transversal name service benefits users across Shib and beyond.

The product sprang from a simple yet game-changing thought conceived during the early stages of Shibarium: making blockchain addresses more user-friendly. The Shib team understands that those long strings of hexadecimal characters aren’t the most approachable things in the world. Thus, the concept of SNS was born – a system that translates complex Shibarium addresses into easy-to-remember names as part of Shibdentity. Find out more about Shibdentity on this blog post.

Major Benefits of SNS

SNS isn’t just a fancy tech toy; it addresses real-world problems, such as the following:

  • Addressing Errors: No more typing in the wrong address and losing your hard-earned crypto. With SNS, names are easier to recognize and verify.
  • Censorship: In regions where online censorship is a concern, SNS provides a lifeline, ensuring your online identity remains intact.
  • Identity: Stand out in the crowd with a memorable name. SNS lets you establish a unique online identity.

Making Blockchain Accessible

“SNS: Your Decentralized Identity, Simplified!” – It’s not just a slogan; it’s a promise. It’s about making blockchain technology accessible and user-friendly, all while empowering users to take control of their digital identities. We want users to feel like pioneers of the future web, where blockchain and decentralized services are as user-friendly as they are revolutionary.

Imagine you have a pet grooming business and you can register a unique, creative name such as “FluffyTails.shib” or snap up your first name (e.g., emily.shib). Keep in mind that once somebody else gets their hands on the custom name you like, it’s gone and we would hate for you to miss out!

We will have a feature that enables you to buy multiple domains so get creative to maximize the use of this product.

Did we mention that you will also be allowed to resell your Shib names? That’s right… you heard it here first, and you’ll find out more about it – only here – soon.

The Technicals

At its core, SNS is all about simplicity and empowerment. Here’s a rundown of what makes it such a disruptor:

  • Shib Names: SNS lets you map complex Shibarium addresses (and more) to simple, human-readable names ending in .shib such as “CryptoLover.shib”. Therefore, make sure to secure your own before someone else grabs it!
  • Resource Mapping Revolution: SNS expands beyond Shibarium to handle IPFS, Swarm, and more!
  • Unstoppable Identity: SNS, powered by Shibarium, shields your domain name from seizure and censorship.
  • Future-Ready Flexibility: SNS adapts and evolves to support new functionalities.
  • dApp Harmony: Enjoy seamless integration with Shibarium dApps and wallets for easy interactions.
  • Endless Possibilities: Combine SNS with IPFS for hosting decentralized websites!

SNS Is Now Live

SNS launched recently and is now live at name.shib.io!

Now that this name service is available to everyone, the future of Shibdentity looks brighter. So, go check it out before someone else grabs that degen.shib you want so badly.
