Introduction
Snowball MNS is teaming up with TradePort for an epic event: the $35k Showdown, where Web3 users can trade, engage, and earn Snowball MNS identities. Today, we hope to cover what Snowball MNS is and how you can get involved in the Showdown.
What is Snowball MNS?
Web3 is an exciting but often chaotic space. Users juggle countless wallet addresses across DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and more—leading to confusion, errors, and lost opportunities. Enter Snowball’s Modular Naming Service (MNS), a game-changing solution that brings simplicity, security, and identity to the decentralized world.
With MNS, users can mint a @yourname identity that seamlessly connects to their wallets across multiple chains, including Aptos, Movement, Ethereum, Sui, BSC, Tron, Solana, and 70+ more chains. MNS isn’t just a naming service—it’s a gateway to DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and beyond.
- For DeFi: Send, swap, and stake across chains using a single name—no more complex wallet addresses.
- For NFTs: Mint, trade, and showcase your collectibles with one identity.
- For Gaming and DAOs: Connect your name to play-to-earn games, cast votes in DAOs, or make cross-chain payments.
