$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.
Distribution and Supply

26.25% of total supply is for ecosystem growth. These tokens will be unlocked linearly over 4 years starting from TGE.

FAQs
$SNS token
What is the $SNS token?
$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.
Why is SNS launching a token?
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.

What can I do with $SNS?
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.
How will $SNS help grow the Solana Name Service ecosystem?
$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.
Will $SNS be used to pay for domain names? Will $SNS be used for governance? Are there any future uses for $SNS beyond what’s been shared?
$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.
Will my .sol domain be tied to $SNS in any way?
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.
How do I avoid scams or fake tokens?
$SNS Genesis Airdrop
Am I eligible for the $SNS Genesis Airdrop?
What factors were used to determine allocations in the Genesis Airdrop?

Held a .sol domain name: Loyal supporters of the SNS community.
Set a primary .sol domain: Active users of the SNS protocol.
9, 99, 999, 10k, 100k category holders: High-value and rare domain community members.

When can I claim my Genesis Airdrop $SNS?
The claim for the Genesis Airdrop will open on the15:00 UTC on May 13, 2025 and will remain open for ninety (90) days. Eligible wallets will be able to claim $SNS until 15:00 UTC on August 11, 2025. Genesis Airdrop $SNS will not be claimable after 15:00 UTC on August 11, 2025.
Why can’t my .sol domain be used to check the claim?
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.
Why am I getting an “Access Restricted” window when I try to claim my Genesis Airdrop $SNS?
Pursuant to applicable laws, regulations, and internal compliance policies, access to the Genesis Airdrop claims platform is geo-restricted and is not available to individuals or entities located in, incorporated in, or otherwise associated with certain jurisdictions deemed prohibited or high-risk.
These jurisdictions include, without limitation: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Iran, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen, United States of America, Canada, the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cuba, Syria, and the People's Republic of Crimea.
Is the $SNS claim safe? Do I need to connect my wallet?
Yes, the claim is non-custodial and only requires wallet signing—no approvals or transactions are needed to check your allocation.
LFG Campaign
What’s the LFG campaign?
LFG is our community campaign kicking off after the $SNS Genesis Airdrop. It’s packed with missions, rewards, tutorials, collabs with top Solana projects and ways to level up your role in the ecosystem. Whether you’re new to SNS or a longtime .sol holder, it’s your chance to jump in and build your rep.
20% of the total $SNS supply is set aside just for the LFG campaign. If you missed the initial Genesis Airdrop—or just want to go harder—this is your shot. Complete tasks, rank up and claim your piece of it.
How can I participate in the LFG Campaign?
What are dots?
Dots are the points you earn by completing tasks during the LFG campaign. Think of them as your progress tracker — the more dots you collect, the more rewards you unlock.
You can earn dots through actions like registering domains, updating your profile, referring friends, or participating in supported Solana ecosystem activities.
How is the 10% referral bonus calculated?
The bonus is retroactive. You’ll earn 10% of your referral’s total dots — including any they earned before using your referral code.
How to generate referral codes?
To create a referral code, your wallet must hold at least one .sol domain. Once that requirement is met, just click Generate to get your permanent code.
Why can’t I enter someone else’s referral code?
You can only enter a referral code before generating your own. Once you've created your code, that option is locked. This helps prevent system abuse, such as referral loops, multi-level schemes, or other malicious behavior.
If you enter someone else’s referral code, you’ll earn 1,000 bonus dots. It’s a win-win: you get a 1,000 dot bonus, and the person who referred you earns 10% of the dots you collect.
