The Shib Name Service (SNS) is a revolutionary Web3 digital identity system that allows you to create and manage your own unique digital identity across the entire blockchain ecosystem.

​
What Are Shib Names?

Shib Names are unique digital identifiers that serve as your Web3 identity across multiple blockchains and platforms. Unlike traditional domain names that use dots (.), Shib Names use stars (*) to indicate their Web3-native functionality.

​
Key Features

Multichain Support

Use your Shib Name as a wallet address across hundreds of different blockchains.

Cross-Platform Identity

Single username that works across DeFi, SocialFi, GameFi, and other Web3 platforms.

Infrastructure Identifier

Use as an identifier for your smart contracts, nodes, or decentralized infrastructure.

dApp Access

Access your decentralized website or dApp using your Shib Name.

​
Why *SHIB vs .SHIB?

Shib Names feature a star (*) instead of a dot (.) because these Name Tokens are limited to Web3 functionality. To use a dot (.), a name needs to be approved by ICANN and be compatible with the DNS system.
The star (*) prefix indicates that these are Web3-native identifiers, designed specifically for blockchain and decentralized applications.
