Welcome to the next big step for XNS ecosystem! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Resolver, an ENS-style resolver that brings seamless integration, enhanced functionality, and smooth user experience. Our resolver is designed to unlock the full potential of .xrp and propel them into the future of the web3 landscape.

Bluey is coding non stop!

What is the XNS Resolver?

The XNS Resolver is a decentralized domain name resolution service that enables the translation of human-readable .xrp names into machine-readable addresses, paving the way for seamless interaction with web3 applications and services. The XNS Resolver allows developers to build powerful tools and applications that interact with XNS effortlessly, providing users with a smooth, secure, and decentralized experience.

Why XNS Resolver?

XNS Resolver is the key to unlocking the true potential of .xrp. With it, users can finally take full advantage of their .xrp name in various web3 applications and services, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and more. It also aims to create a more user-friendly experience and bridge the gap between traditional domains and the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology.

Key Features of XNS Resolver:

  1. Seamless Integration: Our resolver allows for easy integration of .xrp with various web3 applications, platforms, and services, making the user experience smooth and intuitive.
  2. Decentralized and Secure: Built on the robust and secure XRPL, our Resolver ensures a truly decentralized solution, providing users with trustless and tamper-proof resolution.
  3. Customizable Text Records: Users can easily update and manage text records associated with their XNS names, enabling personalization and further integration with other projects.
  4. Developer-Friendly: The XNS Resolver offers a comprehensive suite of tools and resources for developers to build innovative solutions and applications.
  5. Strong Community Support: Our active and dedicated community ensures ongoing development and improvement of the resolver and related services, driving the growth and adoption of XNS.

Getting Started with XNS Resolver

To help you get started with the XNS Resolver, we have created comprehensive documentation and an NPM package which can be viewed here — https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xns/xnsjs.

Below is a simple example on how to use it:

import { Xns } from '@xns/xnsjs';
import { Client } from 'xrpl';

async function main() {
// Create an XRPL Client instance
const client = new Client('wss://xrplcluster.com'); // Use the appropriate XRPL server URL
await client.connect();

// Initialize Xns with the client
const xns = new Xns(client);

// Resolve address given a domain
const resolvedAddress = await xns.resolveDomain('example-domain');
console.log(`Address associated with domain 'example-domain':`, resolvedAddress);

// Resolve domain given an address
const resolvedDomain = await xns.resolveAddress('rXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
console.log(`Domain associated with address 'rXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX':`, resolvedDomain);

// Disconnect from the XRPL server
await client.disconnect();
}

main();

At launch we are only enabling the ability to fetch primary name for your XRPL address. Rest assured, we will be adding ability to fetch text records and incorporate additional features in the near future.

What next?

We will be releasing a separate medium article on how to set primary name this coming weekend!

The XNS Resolver marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the wider XNS ecosystem. As we continue to innovate and develop new solutions, we remain committed to our vision of a decentralized, secure, and user-friendly web3 experience for all. Stay tuned for more exciting updates, features, and partnerships as we forge ahead with our vision.

Join our vibrant community to stay updated on the latest developments and be a part of the XNS revolution!
