Solana Name Service (sns.id) is an identity system running on the Solana blockchain. It supports adding an IPNS record to the name, and furthermore, there is a gateway to access .sol names with IPFS/IPNS records.

You can register your Solana name at sns.id. Phantom wallet app is recommended, and have some USDC in the wallet.

Step 1 · Copy IPNS

Right-click your website under My Planets and select Copy IPNS. You will get its IPNS in the pasteboard, and it will be a long string that starts with k51.
