Tapestry x SNS: Bringing Social to Solana Domains
Onchain Identity is the Missing Piece in Web3 Social
At Tapestry, we believe that identity is the foundation of social interaction in Web3. In our recent Twitter Space with SNS, we explored the growing role of SocialFi, digital reputation, and onchain identity in shaping the future of decentralized applications.
SNS has already built one of the largest communities on Solana, with over 120,000 unique .sol domain holders. But identity alone isn’t enough—without a social layer, it’s just a name. The key to unlocking Web3’s full potential is tying identity to reputation, connections, and real engagement.
That’s why we’re excited to take the next step: Tapestry is officially partnering with SNS to transform .sol domains into dynamic social hubs.
What We Learned from the X Space
Solana Needs a Social Layer
SNS and Tapestry both see Solana as more than just a blockchain—it’s a digital home for communities, creators, and interactions. But today, users rely on Web2 tools like X and Telegram to communicate, while all financial activity happens onchain. This disconnect means identity is fragmented, making it difficult for users to build a reputation and engage meaningfully within Web3.
From Static Names to Living Identities
SNS has made it easy to send and receive crypto using human-readable names, much like how Venmo and Zelle simplified digital payments. But Web3 identity should be more than just a username—it should reflect the relationships, reputation, and history of a user’s interactions. By integrating with Tapestry, SNS can turn .sol domains into interactive social profiles that foster engagement and connection.
Reputation Will Be a Game-Changer
One of the biggest missing pieces in Web3 is trust. Today, it’s difficult to assess credibility or track on-chain relationships. But with an identity layer that ties past actions to reputation, SNS and Tapestry can enable trust-based interactions, making social coordination, collaboration, and even AI-driven personalization much more powerful.
Why This Matters
SNS: A Leader in Digital Identity
SNS has rapidly grown into one of Web3’s most important naming services, with:
A Massive Community – Over 120,000 registered .sol domains
Deep Ecosystem Integration – Supported across major Solana wallets and dApps
Cutting-Edge Innovation – Features like subdomains and cross-platform resolution
Despite this, social engagement is still missing. Domain holders can own their identity, but there’s no native way to connect, interact, or build community.
How Tapestry is Changing the Game
By integrating Tapestry’s social infrastructure, SNS will evolve from a naming solution to a true social identity platform. Here’s what’s coming:
✅ Social Connections – Follow and interact with domain holders in a way that respects domain hierarchies
✅ Community Engagement – Likes, comments, and activity feeds to foster real interactions
✅ Dynamic Social Profiles – Transform .sol domains from static names into living, evolving identities

Why SNS Chose Tapestry
Tapestry’s infrastructure makes it effortless to integrate social features into existing Web3 projects. SNS chose Tapestry because of:
Developer-Friendly APIs – Add social features in minutes, not months
Flexible Identity Architecture – Supports complex domain relationships
Scalable Infrastructure – Ready to support SNS’s rapidly growing user base
A New Era for Web3 Identity
This partnership isn’t just about adding social features to domains—it’s about redefining how identity and social interaction work in Web3. Solana is no longer just an infrastructure layer for transactions; it’s becoming the foundation for an interconnected, reputation-driven internet. With SNS and Tapestry working together, we’re building the next evolution of on-chain social identity.
