How To Get A .SOL Domain

Published on Dec 14, 2021. 1 minutes to read.

Solana domains are human readable addresses ending in .sol that you can use in place of the random numbers and letters of a typical Solana address.

Compatibility

These custom .sol domains are supported in many of the most popular sites and services but not quite everywhere yet, so if a site or service doesn't accept it yet, you might need to request this feature if it isn't already in the works. Pretty much anything that uses Solana addresses should want to be compatible anyway since it helps improve user experience.

If you're looking for how to integrate .sol domains into your product you can look at Bonfida's docs. And if you want to know which products have this feature integrated you can see this list of .sol compatible products.

The domain naming service for Solana is provided by Bonfida.

Requirements

Some things you'll need to have and know before you get started.

  • A Solana wallet (eg. Phantom)
  • Some Solana for transactions
  • Some Solana or USDC to convert to FIDA token

The Solana wallet you use to purchase the .sol domain can be the same wallet you want to link to or you can always transfer it to a desired wallet later.
