# What we do

## FNS Design Goals

The FNS design goals are to provide a decentralized domain name system for Filecoin network users and developers, and to address the difficulties and inconveniences of using CIDs to access data stored on the Filecoin network.

The primary design goals of FNS include:

> * Usability: FNS should provide an easy-to-use domain name system that enables users to conveniently access their data stored on the Filecoin network without having to remember complex CIDs.
> * Decentralization: FNS should be a decentralized system without a single centralized control point, avoiding single-point failures and tampering risks.
> * Security: FNS should provide a secure domain name system that ensures user data is not tampered with or stolen.
> * Ease of Integration: FNS should provide easy-to-integrate interfaces and tools, allowing developers to easily use FNS in their applications.
> * Scalability: FNS should be a scalable system capable of handling the growing demand for data storage on the Filecoin network.
