As the Monad ecosystem expands, users will need a convenient way to interact with dApps, protocols; and the need for an efficient means to engage with dApps and protocols becomes essential. Using cryptocurrency addresses can be cumbersome and error-prone sometimes.

This is where Nad Name Service shines.

What is Nad Name Service ?

Nad Name Service (NNS) is a distributed, open web3 name service based on the Monad blockchain.

At its core, NNS provides mapping between human-readable names like 'salmo.nad' to machine-readable identifiers such as cryptocurrency addresses, content hashes, metadata, and more.

DApps and protocols integrated with NNS enable users to use human-readable names instead of cryptocurrency addresses , making interactions as seamless and smooth as possible.

NNS Names

Nad Name Service supports a wide range of character sets and emojis, allowing users to choose any name they want. This enables users to freely express their style through their chosen names.

Examples of valid name:

  • salmo.nad

  • πŸ₯škeoneπŸ₯š.nad

  • 🐸🀝🐸.nad

  • μ•ˆλ…•ν•˜μ„Έμš”.nad

  • δ½ ε₯½.nad

  • ...

Each name will be a NFT so that users can easily trade names on NFT marketplaces.


Profile

Each name comes with a customizable profile. Users can personalize their profile by setting an avatar, adding social links, and configuring text records for their name.
