Why Sui?

Sui is the most premiere blockchain in the world. It’s technology is as innovative as SOL was when it released, but on a much higher scale. The idea that Sui could scale horizontally and process transactions in parallel, makes it one of the most future-proof concepts. Additionally, from a business perspective, it has elite engineering and business development. Upon realizing these factors, we decided to pivot completely from Solana to Sui for our name-service. Sui is also in the perfect place. It is a blank canvas, and we will help paint of the most beautiful of portraits.

It’s about using the historically revolutionary technology that Sui is for a commercial purpose that consumers can actually use. The $SNS is so focused on gaming because it is the parallel most natural for crypto-currency to break into. People who use games are more computer-savvy than regular consumers and people who use games are already familiar with practical use cases for crypto-concepts — csgo skins as NFTs, etc.

At the $SNS, we seek to build a community-owned Sui Name Service that will act as your digital identity for crypto gaming services and products, or as I like to call it — Gmail for Crypto Gaming. Right now, we’re starting out as a name service for Sui, but our goal is to create an eco-system of products on Sui that you can access via your web browser by the “.sui” top-level domain — each “.sui” registration will control its equivalent “.sui” TLD as well.

Sui Names

Web3 is a protocol built on top of web2 .Web2 isn’t going anywhere. Google, search engines, all of that is still here to stay and it will continue to play an important role in the future. However, how we interact with web3 (especially from a consumer perspective) has a long way to go. Here at SNS.DOMAINS our goal is to provide key infrastructure for the Sui eco-system to support gaming and other industries, which will eventually expand into Sui.

Our company currently has three main goals

(1): Identity — Every “.SUI” domain will have an NFT. This NFT will have properties that will make it available as a profile as well.

(2): Infrastructure — Every “.SUI” domain will eventually control its equivalent web2 domain DNS.

(3): Products — Every “.SUI” domain will be able to serve as a placeholder for any SUI public address. This will make a wide-range of applications, available with usernames — think SUI Messaging, Social Media, etc.

These goals make our service able to integrate with practically any application on Sui, without including too many integration-specific details that makes our project not portable to other areas of Sui, or games.

We will connect Web2 to Web3 with Community Oversight.

Epic Games? Blizzard? Steam? These all serve as game launchers and marketplaces to some extent. What do they all have in common? A profile system on each of them where you can message friends, view their inventories of skins / in-game items and achievements and send/confirm trades. All of these things would be so natural to build on Sui. And our name service will be that digital identity platform. Our vision is for 5+ years, but we will realize it… and we want you to be a part of the process as we do it.

So how do you get involved?

Register your own domain, be active in the discord, and engage with our tweets. We’re looking at all of these things and honestly, that’s all it takes to be involved in this vision right now. It may get a little more rewarding as we get to governance [trust ;)], but hop on the ship and have a good time, and we’ll be happy to have you!
