Recently, SuiNS have been given out tons of hints that there will be an airdrop. Read this blog to learn how to buy and register SuiNS names. Plus, what is best to be eligible for the potential airdrop.
How to Get a SuiNS Name (Traditional Way)
Similar to how the internet uses Domain Name Service (DNS) to change complex codes into easy-to-read web addresses, SuiNS does the same. But it's more than just an address; it's like having your online ID, kind of like an email address. People with SuiNS names can personalize them with cool avatars and even create websites using IPFS pages.
Getting Ready to Buy
Before you start, you need to have a Sui wallet set up and some SUI tokens in it. You can get SUI tokens from places like Binance, Coinbase, or Gemini. And remember to be careful when dealing with anything related to blockchain services.
Buying Your SuiNS Name
SuiNS names are like digital objects, so you can buy and sell them like any other digital item on Sui. But we'll focus on buying them directly from the SuiNS website.
Step 1: Find a Name
You can search for available names on the SuiNS website. If a name is available, you'll see a price, and you can start the registration process. If it's taken, you can only see info about it.
Step 2: Register Your Name
When you're ready to buy, you can choose how long you want to own the name, from one to five years. Then, you make it official by confirming your choice.
Step 3: Complete Your Purchase
Once you confirm, you'll need to finalize the purchase by signing off on a transaction. After that, the name is yours!
Prices, Renewals, and Defaults
SuiNS names are priced based on how many characters they have. The shorter the name, the more it costs. You can choose to renew your name when the time's up or let it go back to the marketplace.
You can have lots of SuiNS names, but only one can be your default. This is the name that apps will recognize first.
Buy SuiNS Name from secondary market
Other than the traditional method, you can also buy other people's names from secondary market. Why? Because it's much cheaper.
