# ZNS Connect

> Multichain name service powering on-chain identity across 50+ networks

ZNS Connect is a multichain domain name service and decentralized identity protocol. It lets users register human-readable domains and manage on-chain profiles across a wide range of blockchain networks.

ZNS Connect is a decentralized naming service and identity protocol that replaces wallet addresses with human-readable domain names. It provides on-chain profile pages, identity resolution, and NFT domain minting across a wide range of EVM-compatible blockchains. The protocol targets everyday wallet users, dApp builders, and projects seeking to integrate naming and identity features into their own products.

The protocol addresses the difficulty of using long alphanumeric wallet addresses by mapping them to memorable names that resolve consistently across supported networks. Domains double as on-chain profile pages, letting holders display social links, activity, and reputation. Developers can integrate resolution and registration functionality into wallets, exchanges, and applications through a software development kit, and partners can earn a share of registration revenue generated through their integrations.

Beyond its core naming product, ZNS Connect operates a token and NFT launchpad, an airdrop discovery and tracking hub, and quest-based engagement tools that reward on-chain activity. Its domains are offered through a browser application and a wallet extension for common providers. The ecosystem serves individual users building a Web3 identity, developers integrating naming infrastructure, and projects running community engagement campaigns.
