The Filecoin Naming Service (FNS) is a decentralized name service based on the Filecoin EVM. It resolves metadata into easy-to-read xxx.fil names. Each FNS domain is treated as an NFT, and the FNS contract complies with the interfaces of the ERC-721 standard. The NFT can be transferred and traded on secondary markets.
FNS is similar to Ethereum's ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and Handshake. FNS allows users to use easy-to-remember domain names to access their data stored on the Filecoin network. By mapping the CID (Content Identifier) of a file to an easy-to-remember domain name, FNS provides a convenient way to access data stored on Filecoin without needing to remember complex CIDs. FNS also provides an easy-to-integrate way for developers to use the Filecoin network.
FNS provides a secure and decentralized way to resolve on-chain and off-chain address resources on the Filecoin network into simple human-readable domain names. It is an important part of the Filecoin ecosystem. It can not only make the filecoin system more readable and user-friendly, but also become an important infrastructure for web3.
Users can use FNS as an identity to access the web3 world, and only need to integrate the DNS domain name into FNS, and their domain name can be used as a wallet address, Web3 username and a decentralized website.
