How do you register a .sns name?

Check the name above, with your handles. Connect a Solana wallet at sns.id and search the name. Choose Register, then pick a token, or a card through Coinflow. Choose whether it becomes your primary domain, approve the transaction, then set it up.

Which platforms should you claim with your .sns name?

The .com, X, Telegram and Discord, or check every open Web3 name. Held a .sol before? See what changed for .sol.

$20 for 5 or more characters, $160 for 4 and $640 for 3, with no renewal fee listed; SNS's docs still head the list ".sol domains". Prices are in US dollars, charged in the token you pick or by card.

Length	Price
1 character	$750
2 characters	$700
3 characters	$640
4 characters	$160
5 or more	$20

A small SOL fee also pays for the accounts that store the name on the network.^{[1, 2]}

What should you know before you register a .sns name?

A .sns name may share its name with a separate .sol, because SNS turned every older .sol into a .sns.

Fact	What it means
Old .sol names	Names held before 17 August 2026 now display as .sns, records intact
A matching .sol	Those holders also get a new .sol, a separate name that can be sold apart
One primary domain	Each wallet address can show one
NFT optional	You can wrap the name as an NFT; unwrap it to edit records

What can go wrong with a .sns name, and how do you fix it?

Most problems are a taken name, a name that won't resolve or a risky transfer.

Problem	Fix
The .sns is taken	The checker shows close versions and other endings that are available with your handles
The name won't resolve	Update or verify its SOL record
Sending it to a program address	SNS warns this can lock the name for good. Check the address first
The .sns and .sol are in different wallets	They're separate names. Move one so both sit together
