Omnichain Domain Release for Injective and Solana

The first of its kind integration. The Solana Name Service x Injective takes the domain space to another level. Finally, we can announce that .sol domain names can now be registered on Injective natively!

Yes, you heard that right. No need for a Solana wallet address, no need for $SOL - just Injective and $INJ.

This means .sol domain names are completely compatible with both Solana and Injective. Throughout the building pipeline, we shared one goal, bringing our respective chains closer together. Not only expanding the utility of SNS for our current .sol userbase but also introducing these domains to the well-established Injective ecosystem.

How does it work?

Using Wormhole we've built a sophisticated two-way messenger, where SNS transactions initiated on Injective travel to Solana for execution and travel back to Injective to reveal its success state.

This means that transactions can be initiated on Injective while the source of truth and execution remains on Solana.

Due to this in-depth integration, users can register a domain on Injective, send their domain back to Solana at any time or bridge an already existing name to Injective.

Why .sol?

Continuing to grow the value of an already established domain service for current and future users is at the top of our minds - creating a new domain would not compare. Here we're displaying true interoperability between 2 incredible network states without having to start a process from scratch. As such, users get to enjoy the luxuries of integrations and developments already in existence with SNS.

Our vision is for users to consistently use their identity across chains. One name for every chain, thus growing the legitimacy of a single TLD in the blockchain space. This abides by our ode to become a global domain service provider.

How do I get a domain?

Using the simple website specifically curated for Injective (https://injective.sns.id) users can register a domain like they normally would. The domain, once registered, will automatically be linked to your wallet and ready for you to use on-chain where integrated.

Users can utilize MetaMask, Leap and more to begin their journey.

Conclusion

This one-of-a-kind integration is especially impactful in showing how two chains can establish a deep interconnectedness. Where decentralized communities can be bound by a product operational on both.

We’re excited to meet our new Ninja domain name holders, made possible by Injective.
