📒 A beautiful name for your TON-wallet ⚫️ Everyone who starts using blockchain sooner or later encounters wallet addresses. They allow you to send funds to another person, your tokens and NFTs are stored on these addresses, and they are required for connecting to most services on TON.
⚫️ Visually, an address is a large set of random numbers and letters. Specifically, on TON, they start with the symbols EQ or UQ. It's, of course, impossible to memorize it, so you have to copy it from somewhere every time. It's also not easy to distinguish these addresses from one another — they are usually identified by the last few symbols.
⚫️ That's why TON has a tool for simplifying work with addresses — TON DNS. This service allows you to buy and link a domain in the format xxxxx.ton to your TON-wallet, so you can send funds not to a complex set of symbols but to a recognizable address. For example, our address
UQBL…1Vse, thanks to the domain, turns into
thedaily.ton. If you want to send us something, you can do it right there.
⚫️ Addresses began to be sold on July 30, 2022, and at the start, some could cost more than 100000 TON: the shorter the domain, the higher the price. There's even a club for major holders:
TON DNS Club. Its members believe in the future of TON domains and plan to develop infrastructure for them, creating various products. They have recently stepped up their activity and released the
$WEB3 token, which will be used as payment in services.
⚫️ By the way, TON is not the only blockchain with domain integration. In particular, a similar tool exists on ETH, where the number of domains exceeds 2.14M units, while TON can only boast about 50K, owned by 12.3 thousand people.
⚫️ We also believe in the future of web3 and wish the
TON DNS Club team success in further integrations and the development of the domain ecosystem. And today's homework for our educational series
#howtoton will be to familiarize yourself with
the knowledge base on TON DNS.
P.S. You can buy a domain
