Bonfida’s Solana Name Service (SNS), the decentralized domain name service for the Solana ecosystem, has announced integrations with Notifi Networks to provide buyers with push notifications, so place a bid and never miss out on losing another auction!

What is SNS?

The mission of the Solana name service is to provide a decentralized and affordable way to map domain names (.sol) to on-chain data. This on-chain data could be anything from a SOL address to IPFS CID, images, text, etc…

Why is it so amazing, and what does this integration mean?

Essentially, our friends at SNS are creating an identity for users in the metaverse that is human readable, and you can have a higher degree of confidence of never fat fingering information. Let’s face it, wallet address formats can be a barrier to entry; therefore, having an identifiable address that can facilitate even the most simple payment use cases is a no-brainer. There is absolutely no way that the next 100 million users will be able to memorize and remember everyone’s wallet addresses.

Notifi will be helping to enable the next wave of adopters to get their hands on their .sol address easily. We at Notifi believe that everything should start and end with the best user experience, and managing your web3 identity is one of the most foundational components of onboarding that need to be made easier!

What is the user experience, and how do I start?

What does the future look like?

A partnership with Bonfida and SNS doesn't stop here at just auction alerts and notifications. A .sol address can and will be used as the identity marker for everything Solana going forward. We have previously announced an Open Web3 Chat platform that will be launching very soon, and at the heart of it will be what we believe will be critical for making web3 easier for the masses.
