Solana Name Service

SNS x Planetable

Solana Name Service is the most popular name service on the Solana blockchain. You can get your .sol names at sns.id. There is a one-time payment of $20 USDC per name for names with five or more characters. Shorter names may cost more. The initial cost is slightly higher than ENS, but there’s no need for renewal, and the gas costs for any activity on the Solana blockchain are very low and fast.

You can link your Planet site's IPNS address to your .sol names, and it is accessible through the new sol.build gateway. You can also access it using the local gateway in Planet, which now fully supports .sol.

For example, this site is now also available on .sol as:

planetable.sol

Here are the steps to link your Planet site to your .sol name:

Hope you will like it.

Web Client

We have been improving Planet's API server, which now powers a new web client that allows you to access Planet from any browser.

You can access this new web client by adding /app/ to your API server's IP address and port. For instance, if your API server's port is 8086, then the web client is accessible at:

http://127.0.0.1:8086/app/

You can find your API server info in Settings.

In the previous version, you had to manually install the web client. This is no longer necessary; Planet now includes a built-in updater to automatically install and update the latest web client.

Experimental Gateway for Farcaster Profile URL

furl.pro is an experimental IPFS gateway for the URL field in Farcaster profile.

If you set an IPNS or IPFS address as your Farcaster profile URL, you can access it via [your-fc-username].furl.pro. For example:

livid.furl.pro

URL field is part of the Farcaster protocol, but it is currently not exposed in the Warpcast client. You can update the field using a third-party client like Recaster.

Other Fixes and Improvements

  • Fixed various RPC issues that could affect ENS resolution.
  • Implemented a button for manually triggering IPFS garbage collection.
  • Resolved multiple UI issues on macOS Sequoia.
  • Fixed several API performance issues.
