Frequently Asked Questions

What is TNS for?

Terra Name Service is to create easy-to-remember names for your Terra address like ‘dokwon.ust’ instead of ‘terra1...whezdr’. You can transfer or exchange assets by simply entering the registered domain name instead of the long and unreadable address. TNS also allows setting other data such as NFT, email, Twitter account, etc. You can think of TNS as your on-chain profile. TNS is inspired by ens.domains. We credit the ENS team as the original creator of the idea.
