Thanks to a collaboration with Solana Name Service, or SNS, .sol domain names now work directly in MetaMask. This means users can send, receive, and explore $SOL using human-readable names instead of long, complex wallet addresses.
The update simplifies blockchain interactions, making it easier for newcomers and seasoned investors alike to navigate the Solana ecosystem.
Human-Readable Names Transform SOL Transfers
In traditional blockchain networks, wallet addresses are long strings of letters and numbers that are difficult to remember or verify. With the introduction of .sol names in MetaMask, sending $SOL can be as simple as typing a username like alice.sol. This mirrors trends seen in Ethereum, where .eth names have made crypto transactions more intuitive and reduced errors from mistyped addresses.

For example, a small business accepting SOL payments can now display a simple .sol name on invoices. Customers can send funds without worrying about copying a 44-character address. This lowers friction for both retail users and institutions looking to experiment with Solana-based payments. According to recent data, over 1.5 million .sol domains have been registered since the network introduced SNS, reflecting growing interest in human-readable blockchain addresses.
More About SNS
Integrating SNS domains into apps can be done across wallets, marketplaces, and decentralized platforms, but its true power lies in the user experience upgrade it provides. Instead of copying long, complex wallet addresses, users can send and receive crypto with simple, human-readable names like alice.sol.
