Alternative Name Service (ANS) is a Solana Protocol that allows to users create human readable domain names that can be used in place of a Public Key.
A major step away from what has been built so far on Solana, ANS opens up Top Level Domain (TLD) creation so that any project or community can distribute their own .[anything] domains.
The mission of ANS is to become a community owned, open source and decentralized protocol that can be used for the benefit of the Solana community. We also aim to become a cross-chain protocol that will allow bridging domains from other blockchain to Solana and vice-versa and to bridge our ANS domains to all major blockchains ( eth, btc, arb, bnb, apt, sui, etc)
ANS is built by Onsol Labs 🦾
