# ANS - Arbitrum Name Service

## Foundation

The Arbitrum Name Service (ANS) is a platform that allows you to register a custom domain name for your wallet. This is particularly helpful since hexadecimal wallet addresses can be difficult to use and search, leading to unnecessary complications and the possibility of incorrect transactions. ANS effectively resolves this issue.

## The Vision

Registering your domain provides your wallet with a distinctive identity and the ability to customize it, as well as enabling you to store and modify various types of data within your domain. The stored data will be accessible to the public and can include a project description, social media links, your personal story, branding, or any other creative ideas. The main goal is to increase legitimacy in the field by offering individuals, projects, influencers, and protocols the chance to create an anonymous, decentralized crypto identity. This identity can aid in building and enhancing one's reputation and popularity.
