Welcoming a New Era

Today, we’re excited to introduce a new token that marks a fresh start for the Solana Name Service ecosystem. This launch isn’t just about better mechanics or smarter design—it’s about doubling down on .sol, uniting and supporting the .sol holder community, and building on the foundation of .sol domains and on-chain identity on Solana.

Why $SNS?

Our journey since 2020 has been marked by incredible highs and unimaginable lows. By an initial sweeping and ambitious vision for a full product suite on Solana, and by major pivots and foundational evolutions of the project and team since then. Following the introduction of new leadership last year, and the official Solana Name Service ecosystem new product launch this year, we’ve spent months listening to and learning from our .sol holders.

What we now know, without a shred of a doubt, is that our .sol community is strong, passionate, and widespread. And as the .sol ecosystem has grown, so have the needs of the community. We hear you: you want more from the future, from .sol and from SNS. We hear the clear demands for a governance token that would allow our .sol community to participate in building the future of SNS.

$SNS is our answer: a cleaner foundation and purpose-built for the future of .sol. The new token is being created for today’s SNS community.

What's Next?

We're rolling out $SNS with care and intention. Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more about distribution, claim mechanics, and how .sol users—past, present, and future—can get involved.

We believe the best communities are the ones that grow with their users. $SNS is our next chapter—one focused on real ownership, broader participation, and long-term resilience, by and for the .sol domain holder community.
