# Personal hub address

## 🔗 What is a `.hub` Domain?

### Your Web3 Identity on SolanaHub

`.hub` is a **Web3-native domain extension** powered by [AllDomains](https://alldomains.id/) and integrated into the Solana blockchain. It serves as your **personal and verifiable identity** within the SolanaHub ecosystem—giving you a clean, user-friendly name like `you.hub` instead of long wallet addresses like `9JQ...Fks`.

Whether you're staking with SolanaHub, exploring DeFi, or engaging in community activities, your `.hub` domain makes it easier to be seen, remembered, and rewarded.

### ⚙️ Powered by AllDomains on Solana

The `.hub` domain is built on top of the **AllDomains protocol**, a decentralized domain naming system designed for Solana. AllDomains enables anyone to create and manage custom top-level domains (TLDs) like `.hub`, `.xyz`, `.dao`, and more.

`.hub` takes advantage of this flexible protocol to provide:

* NFT-based ownership of domain names
* On-chain identity and metadata management
* Integration with wallets and dApps across Solana

### 🌐 What is Solana Name Service (SNS)?

Solana Name Service (SNS) is a broader naming standard within the Solana ecosystem. It allows domain names to be mapped to public wallet addresses and additional on-chain records.

While `.sol` domains are the most well-known, SNS now supports **custom TLDs** thanks to protocols like AllDomains. This is what powers `.hub`.

> Think of SNS as the system that makes `yourname.sol` or `yourname.hub` resolve to your wallet address.
