What is Primary Name?

A primary name refers to the main .xrp domain associated with your XRPL wallet address. It serves as a user-friendly identifier for transactions and interactions within the web3 ecosystem, simplifying the process and enhancing the user experience.

With the help of our resolver, projects can integrate these primary .xrp domains, allowing users to seamlessly interact with various platforms using their personalized domain instead of long and complex wallet addresses.
