  The Algorand Name Service (ANS) is a decentralized naming system that enables users to register and manage domain names on the Algorand blockchain. It provides a convenient way to interact with digital currencies by allowing users to associate domain names with their wallet addresses. For example, instead of sharing a long string of characters as your wallet address, you can simply provide your ANS domain name. This makes it easier for others to send you digital currencies and enhances the overall accessibility and usability of the Algorand network.
