SNS Roadmap for 2026
A clear look at what SNS is building and shipping throughout 2026
The goal is simple: make .sol domains the easiest identity to own on the internet. We’re making discovery instant, trading effortless, and utility seamless.
In Progress
Marketplace V2: Core Experience
We’ve rebuilt the engine to be faster, lighter, and more precise. V2 turns complex on-chain data into clear insights, making domain trading feel effortless.
Shipping: Reduced load times, streamlined domain detail pages, and real-time activity feeds.
AI Prompt Search
Finding the right name shouldn’t be a chore. Describe what you want in plain language, e.g., “short DAO name for Fat Tiger community” or “something brandable for a coffee shop in Seattle.”
Shipping: Intent-based suggestions and instant availability checks.
$SNS Payments (Marketplace)
We can already register domains with $SNS. Next, we’re making $SNS a first-class payment option for every trade on the SNS marketplace.
Shipping: $SNS native checkout, transaction handling, price parity.
Category Markets
We’re upgrading domain categories (e.g., 3-digit, clubs) into dedicated market pages with floor, volume, and supply, plus built-in buy/ offers actions.
Shipping: Category-specific page and V1 → V2 category migration.
Offers 2.0
We’re reducing friction between “wanting” and “owning”. Offers are easier to review and filter. Traders can also place a single offer across an entire category (e.g., “Any 999 Club domain”) to simplify floor-sweeping and improve seller liquidity.
Shipping: Offer filtering, smart offer sorting, category-wide offer, one-click accept for sellers, category offer analytics.
Up Next
Infrastructure Update
We’re improving performance and reliability to support upcoming features.
Shipping: Faster updates across SNS and a more responsive experience.
Market Pulse & Analytics
Turning the marketplace into a living ecosystem. We are introducing tools to help users track trends and find value through curated data.
Shipping: 24H/7D/30D volume analytics, leaderboards, trending category modules.
Bulk Operations
Managing a large portfolio should be as easy as managing a single name. We’re introducing batch tools to handle your assets in minutes.
Shipping: One-click bulk transfers and multi-domain “Wrap” transactions.
Community Hubs (Sub-Registrar V2)
Sub-registrars are evolving into on-chain homes for communities. DAOs and groups can now issue and manage their own namespaces with a custom member dashboard.
Shipping: Member management dashboards and a discovery directory.
Transparency & Ecosystem Stats
Providing investors and builders with data on the .sol ecosystem.
Shipping: Public dashboards for volume and activities.
Curated Auctions
A premium venue for the ecosystem’s most coveted names. We’re launching a regular auction series featuring high-value domains from the SNS Reserve and vetted community listings.
Shipping: Monthly time-bound events and automated auction settlements.
.sol and Web2 Compatibility
We’re working with ecosystem partners to explore how .sol could interoperate responsibly and sustainably with the traditional internet naming system. This includes preparing technical and community readiness work for the ICANN gTLD program. We’ll share learnings and align with stakeholders before scaling.
Shipping: ICANN readiness roadmap, community education, DNS specifications.
