$SNS is a community token by .sol holders for .sol holders. It was created to align the future of the Solana Name Service with its most frequent users, so that the .sol community can decide how to support participation, reward builders, and shape their own .sol experience.
The total supply of $SNS is 10 billion tokens.
$SNS distribution is focused on long-term community growth, with the majority of the supply earmarked for the community:
40% of total supply will be claimable by existing .sol domain holders, Solana communities and partners, and users of SNS.
20% of total supply is allocated to future emissions and SNS & Solana communities.
26.25% of total supply is for ecosystem growth. These tokens will be unlocked linearly over 4 years starting from TGE.
5% of total supply is for liquidity provision.
Finally, 8.75% of total supply is for core contributors, who are locked for a total of 4 years (12-month cliff followed by 3 year linear unlock) starting from TGE.
The $SNS Whitepaper contains more infromation on the tokenomics.
$SNS is a community token by .sol holders for .sol holders. It was created to align the future of the Solana Name Service with its most frequent users. Rather than being controlled by a small group, $SNS gives the existing and future .sol community a direct stake in how the identity layer of Solana evolves.
Over the past few years, SNS has gone through major changes—ambitious early plans, tough pivots, a full rebrand and new leadership. Through all of that, one thing became clear: our .sol holders are still here, still building and still believe in this ecosystem.
The launch of $SNS reflects that. It’s not just a token—it’s a way to align the future of this project with the .sol domain holders who are the heart of its community. The ones who’ve been using, integrating and repping .sol through everything.
4 billion $SNS tokens (40% of total supply) will be claimable in the SNS Genesis Airdrop and LFG Campaign:
2 billion $SNS tokens (20% of total supply) will be claimable during the Genesis Airdrop:
1.5 billion $SNS tokens will be claimable by ~275,000 wallets that held 1 or more .sol domains as of the Snapshot.
500 million $SNS tokens will be claimable by other Solana communities and partners ($FIDA holders, pyth.sol, monkedao.sol, tipfi.sol, etc.).
2 billion $SNS tokens (20% of total supply) will be claimable by eligible SNS LFG Campaign participants after the conclusion of the LFG Campaign.
2 billion $SNS tokens (20% of total supply) are allocated to future emissions and SNS & Solana communities.
2.625 billion $SNS tokens (26.25% of total supply) for ecosystem growth.
500 million $SNS tokens (5% of total supply) for liquidity provision.
875 million $SNS tokens (8.75% of total supply) for core contributors, subject to a total of 4 years lockup (a 12-month cliff period followed by vesting over 3 years).
The allocation to core contributors is subject to a total lockup period of four (4) years (a 12-month cliff period followed by linear unlocking over 3 years).
The allocation to ecosystem growth is subject to a total lockup period of four (4) years (linear unlocking over 4 years).
There were no presales of the $SNS tokens of any kind.
$SNS will be available on Jupiter and other major Solana DEXs shortly after launch. Listings on centralized exchanges may follow depending on demand.
As the community coin for .sol holders, $SNS was created to better align the future of Solana Name Service with the people who use it most. While its core purpose today is to recognize the contributions of .sol holders, it was designed with long-term flexibility in mind. As such, we are eager to hear from the community on how best you want to use $SNS to support participation, reward builders, and enhance the .sol experience.
$SNS was created to better align the growth of the Solana Name Service with the builders, creators and .sol holders who believe in it. Over time, we’re exploring ways for $SNS to help support community initiatives and the expansion of the .sol ecosystem, driven by its community. Our focus is on building opportunities that reward real participation and contribution.
$SNS was designed to create new ways for .sol holders to participate in shaping the future of the Solana Name Service. If these and other features are something the community wants to implement, we are ready to explore how to make them possible.
Owning a .sol domain won’t require $SNS, but we'd love to hear from the community about new features you'd like to introduce.
Eligibility for the Genesis Airdrop is based on a combination of historical .sol domain activity and participation in the SNS ecosystem. Check your eligibility here: airdrop.sns.id

In some cases, .sol domains may not resolve properly due to the following reasons:
The domain is listed for sale and temporarily held in escrow.
The domain is managed by a sub-registrar and currently held in escrow.
The domain was recently linked to a new wallet address that hasn’t been verified.
If you experience issues, we recommend using your Solana wallet address directly to check your airdrop eligibility.
