SuiNS has introduced a significant update to its naming standard, moving from the .sui extension to the @ symbol. This change aims to simplify blockchain identity management and improve user experience on Web2 and Web3 platforms, according to The Sui Blog.

Introducing the new SuiNS naming standard

The change from .sui to @ is designed to make usernames more intuitive and easier to use. This change is in line with common Web2 conventions, allowing users to maintain a consistent identity across various platforms. For example:

  • chris.sui becomes @chris

  • degen123.sui becomes @degen123

Both naming conventions will remain usable within the Sui ecosystem, ensuring a smooth transition and continued functionality across tools like Sui Wallet, RPC, and other applications.

Benefits of the @ symbol

The adoption of the @ symbol is more than a cosmetic update; strategically improves the user experience. In Web2, the @ symbol is a familiar way to refer to users, companies, or apps. By adopting this convention, SuiNS lowers the barrier to entry for Web2 users interacting with Web3 technologies, driving greater adoption of the Sui ecosystem. The main advantages include:

  • Increased user familiarity: The @ symbol allows users to keep the same name across platforms, ensuring a smooth transition to Web3 and an intuitive onboarding process.

  • Interchangeable Usage: Both the .sui and @ names will be used interchangeably within the Sui ecosystem. If a user enters “chris.sui” or “@chris”, the system will resolve the same addressensuring flexibility and convenience.

Technical details

Despite the new naming convention, the underlying infrastructure remains solid. The .sui and @ names are interchangeable and will resolve to the same address within the Sui ecosystem. NFT metadata will retain the .sui notation and NFT searches will continue to display the .sui format. RPC lookups will support both notations, providing backward compatibility. Values ​​returned by RPC or contracts will continue to use .sui notation, with customers responsible for converting them to @ notation if necessary.

This dual compatibility ensures a smooth transition and allows users to interact with the system according to their preferences. These changes will be supported across all key platforms within the Sui ecosystem, including Sui Wallets, explorers, and various RPC tools and SDKs.

Identity for a connected world

As the Sui ecosystem grows, maintaining consistent and recognizable identities becomes increasingly important. The transition from .sui to @ in SuiNS represents a forward-thinking approach to digital identity, embracing familiar Web2 conventions to help users navigate and connect across the expanding landscape of Sui apps. This update makes digital identities more accessible and intuitive, reinforcing the critical role identities play in online ecosystems.
