Set a SuiNS Name

Browsing sites with Base36 subdomains, for example, https://1lupgq2auevjruy7hs9z7tskqwjp5cc8c5ebhci4v57qyl4piy.wal.app, is no longer possible using the wal.app portal. Base36 subdomains are still supported if you use a local server or an alternative portal. To browse walrus sites using the wal.app portal, you must use SuiNS names instead.

SuiNS names are like DNS for Sui and are used to assign a human-readable name to a Walrus Site. To do so, you simply have to get a SuiNS name you like and point it to the object ID of the Walrus Site.

Get a SuiNS name

Navigate to https://suins.io (Mainnet) or https://testnet.suins.io (Testnet) and buy a domain name with your wallet. At the moment, you can only select names that are composed of letters a-z and numbers 0-9, but no special characters (for example, -).

Map the SuiNS name to the Walrus Site

Now, you can set the SuiNS name to point to the address of your Walrus Site. To do so, go to the Names You Own section at suins.io or testnet.suins.io for Testnet, click on the three dot menu icon above the name you want to map, and click Link To Walrus Site. Paste in the bar the object ID of the Walrus Site, check that it is correct, and click Apply.

After approving the transaction, you can now browse your site at https://your-domain.wal.app.
