Project Summary

ZNS Connect is a decentralized naming system designed to simplify Web3 by offering user-friendly and memorable domain names. Our platform enhances digital identities and smooth transactions across multiple blockchains. ZNS Connect is a decentralized naming system designed to revolutionize the Web3 experience by replacing complex addresses with user-friendly and memorable domain names. ZNS Connect aims to streamline interactions within the blockchain ecosystem, providing a seamless experience for users.

Impact

The Problem

The core problem with domain names lies in their limited practicality, often lacking significant utility:

1. Domains designed for one-time use are on the rise.
2. Unutilized domain registrations have dropped to their lowest point since 2022.
3. Social networks rely on centralized solutions.
4. Users face security risks when utilizing domains on blockchain explorers.

Solution

Enjoy personalized Web3 pages, enhanced security with alphanumeric wallet addresses, and seamless access to DEXs, wallets, and apps using ZNS domain names

1. WEB3 PAGE: Provide users with personalized Web3 pages for daily engagement, including sharing info, adding social networks, and connecting with others.
2. NUMERIC TO ALPHABETIC: Improve security with alphanumeric wallet addresses across chains and transition from numeric to alphanumeric addresses for better safety and usability.
3. APP CONNECTION: Simplify access to DEXs, wallets, and apps using ZNS domain names, facilitating seamless interactions for users, all by connecting true ZNS Domains.
