sui.id

Using IPFS (opens in a new tab), you can create a sui.id address connected to your SuiNS name to claim a spot on the decentralized web. The IPFS protocol enables hosting peer-to-peer static sites or media that you can associate with your SuiNS name.

You need a content identifier (CID) to map your SuiNS name to your IPFS asset. To get the CID, download and use the IPFS desktop app (opens in a new tab) for your operating system.

1. Open the IPFS desktop app.

2. Select the FILES option from the main menu and import relevant files into IPFS.

3. Tap or click the ellipses (...) for the uploaded file or folder that you want to have your sui.id name point to and select Copy CID.

4. Navigate a browser to suins.io (opens in a new tab).

5. Tap or click the Connect Wallet button in the upper right.

   If your wallet is already connected, your address or SuiNS name appears here instead.

6. Follow the prompts to connect your Sui or Stashed Wallet, if not already connected.

7. After connecting, the Connect Wallet button displays your address (or connected SuiNS default name). Tap or click the button to open the account dialog.

8. Tap or click the View names you own button in the dialog. The Names view opens with a list of names associated with the connected account.

9. Hover your cursor over or tap the icon for the name you want to change and click the ellipses (...) that appears in the upper-right corner to open the context menu for the name.

10. From the context menu, select Link to IPFS Website to open the Set IPFS CID dialog.

11. Paste the CID copied from the earlier step into the field and tap or click Apply. Alterantively, tap or click Cancel to close the dialog without making any changes.

12. Navigate your browser to https://<YOUR-NAME>.sui.id to see your asset, being sure to change <YOUR-NAME> to your actual SuiNS name.
