Using SNS

1. Transacting with SNS
The Solana Name Service is supported by most, if not all, of the popular wallets on Solana
Amongst other use cases that can be found under List of Integrations - transacting with your .sol is amongst the most popular
You can send SPL tokens and native SOL directly using a .sol domain or Twitter handle instead of using an address
Transacting with a .sol domain
To send tokens to someone using their .sol domain you need to enter <domain_name>.sol in the "Recipient's SOL Address" field. If the domain name is not registered it will display as below after clicking "Next"
If the domain name of the recipient is bonfida you need to enter bonfida.sol
Most wallets follow the same convention described here
Transacting with a Twitter Handle
To send tokens to someone using their Twitter handle you need to enter @<twitter_handle> in the "Recipient's SOL Address" field. If a Twitter handle is not registered it will appear as below after clicking "Next"
If the Twitter handle of the recipient is @bonfida you need to enter @bonfida and not bonfida
Twitter handles are case-sensitive
2. Resolving websites with SNS
2.1 Inhouse resolver
Go to your profile page and select "View" of the domain you'd like to resolve
In this example, we'll be using bonfida.sol
​
Select the record section of your domain
The resolver supports (1) URLs (2) IPFS CIDs & (3) Arweave hashes. Choose what you would like to resolve and enter it accordingly. Here we used a URL
The format of the records is as follows:
1.IPFS: ipfs://<CID> (e.g ipfs://QmZk9uh2mqmXJFKu2Hq7kFRh93pA8GDpSZ6ReNqubfRKKQ)
2.ARWV: arwv://<HASH> (e.g arwv://KuB5jmew87_M2flH9f6ZpB9jlDv8hZSHPrmGUY8KqEk)
3.url: With the following format url_to_your_website (e.g https://bonfida.org)
If you have more than one record set, the resolver will prioritize the url section first, then IPFS and lastly ARWV
​
Once your record section is set, you can browse SNS websites in the format of yourdomainname.sol-domain.org. In this example, it would be bonfida.sol-domain.org and it'll resolve to https://bonfida.org​
2.2 Brave example
​Brave's integration allows you to resolve domain names natively. This means no gateway or extension is needed - just your .sol domain name in the URL tab
Follow the steps above and edit either the URL or IPFS record section of the domain. Sign the transaction and you are good to go
Go to Brave Browser and type your .sol just as it is in the URL tab and watch your website resolve
2.3 4Everland example
4EVERLAND Hosting service supports SNS+IPFS and offers a dedicated gateway 4sol.xyz for all SNS owners
