ANS

Our first service, titled Address Name Service, is being activated on the network on 2018–05–05 @ 0:00 UTC. This means that at that date and time, you can register an ANS name and trade with others using it.

Initially, you will only be able to do this through the Lynx console or OS command line tools. We’re not releasing the ability to use ANS through the Sapphire UI until we’ve been able to fully test it once it activates on the main network.

Sapphire is ready to accommodate ANS, but we want to make sure it’s working properly first before officially releasing it. If you’ve signed up to be a beta tester, then you’ll get the first look.
