Snowball x Spheron: Scaling Modular Identity for the Onchain World

Web3 is growing fast, but digital identity is stuck in silos. You’ve got an ENS for Ethereum, Lens for social, random wallet addresses for every chain, Twitter usernames, Discord handles… and none of it connects. Proving you are you across the stack is frustrating, confusing, and deeply fragmented.

As the on-chain ecosystem scales, identity needs to scale with it, not in more pieces, but as one cohesive layer.

The Solution: Snowball’s Modular Name Service (MNS)

Snowball MNS is building a chain-agnostic, modular naming layer for Web3 — one name that works across wallets, dApps, chains, socials, and everything in between.

It’s not just another naming protocol. It’s a plug-and-play identity layer for the next billion users:

• Modular: Works across L1s, L2s, rollups, and app chains.

• Composable: Extend your name with wallet addresses, DAO roles, social links, and more.

• Human-first: Easy to read, easy to remember, and truly yours.

No more jumping through hoops. Just one name that follows you everywhere onchain.

The Challenge: Scaling Modular Identity Needs Compute Power

To support the infrastructure for Modular Naming at a global scale — from handling lookups and verifications to powering agentic identity extensions — Snowball MNS requires strong compute performance and scalability.

That’s where Spheron steps in.

The Partnership: Spheron x Snowball

Spheron is building the world’s largest decentralized data center, powered by its global community and GPU infrastructure. Their mission? Make compute permissionless, affordable, and accessible.

Now, Spheron is helping Snowball MNS scale its compute backend — providing the horsepower needed to run modular identity services efficiently, securely, and globally.

From name resolution and metadata storage to AI agents powering next-gen modular identity features, Spheron’s GPU network supports Snowball’s long-term vision.

Why This Matters

This partnership unlocks:

• Scalable name infrastructure for the next generation of modular chains, rollups, and app-specific networks

• Fast, decentralized resolution across multiple chains and identity endpoints

• Compute power for on-chain AI agents to extend your identity experience with automation and personalization

Together, we’re making modular identity a reality—not just for developers and early adopters but for everyone.
