Introduction to X1NS
X1NS (X1 Name Service) is a decentralized naming system built on the X1 blockchain, providing human-readable names for blockchain addresses.
What is X1NS?
X1NS allows you to replace complex blockchain addresses like X1def456uvw789xyz with simple, memorable names like alice.x1. This makes it easier to:
- Send and receive payments
- Share your Web3 identity
- Build decentralized applications
- Create a unified Web3 presence
How It Works
- Register - Choose and register your domain name
- Configure - Set your wallet address and profile information
- Use - Share your domain instead of your wallet address
- Resolve - Anyone can look up your domain to find your address
