SNS (Solana Name Service)
How to Use the SNS Plugin
SNS (Solana Name Service) is a powerful tool that simplifies the way you interact with Solana addresses by providing easy-to-remember domain names. Follow these steps to register an SNS subdomain for your Onramp entity:
- Add SNS Plugin: Connect your wallet and navigate to the Onramp dashboard. From the left menu bar, choose “Plugins.” Click on “Add” to open the SNS plugin.
- Enter Subdomain Name: Input the desired subdomain name prefix without the domain extension. For example, if you want your subdomain to be “toly.spinlabs.sol,” enter “toly” in the text field.
- Set Wallet Address: Select the wallet address to which the subdomain should point. Whenever someone enters your subdomain on platforms like Solscan, they will be directed to this specific wallet address.
- Verify Name Availability: Click on “Verify Name.” If the subdomain name is available, you'll receive a confirmation message.
- Claim Name: Click on “Claim Name” to initiate the registration process. Confirm the transaction in your connected wallet (e.g., Phantom) and pay the required transaction fee.
When to Use
- Simplified Transactions: SNS subdomains offer a user-friendly way to share your Solana address instead of complex base58 addresses — you can provide your unique subdomain (e.g., toly.spinlabs.sol).
- Streamlined Communication: Easily share your SNS subdomain with others for receiving payments, donations, or contributions, making transactions more intuitive and efficient.
- Branding and Identity: Customize your entity's online presence by associating a memorable SNS subdomain with your wallet address to enhance brand visibility within the Solana ecosystem.
- Enhanced Accessibility: Simplify the experience for your community or stakeholders by offering an SNS subdomain for transactions, donations, and interactions.
