How-To Guide

What is AWNS?

AWNS, which stands for Autonomous Worlds Naming Service, introduces a novel approach to digital identity with its unique domain ending, .aw. It serves as the foundational layer for the AW ecosystem, enabling users to effortlessly traverse Autonomous Worlds, participate in on-chain games, and engage with the broader web3 landscape. While conventional Web3 naming services like ENS provide comprehensive usernames associated with wallets, AWNS takes this concept to the next level. Notably, AWNS redefines the concept of a username by transforming it into a tokenbound account (TBA) which is an NFT integrated with a wallet powered by ERC-6551. In the following sections, we will delve deeper into the range of applications and opportunities made possible by AWNS.
