Despite the recent price increase, FIDA is still down 96% from its all-time high of $10.87, which reached April 4, 2021.
Bonfida leverages the low-latency and cost-effective features of the Solana blockchain, developing the SNS, a platform offering domain name services. The SNS aims to redefine web3 naming systems, providing domain registration, management, record handling, and trading services.
It also seeks to enhance web3 identity by offering record management, profiling capabilities, and the ability to bridge web2 reputations across multiple blockchains.
Within the Bonfida ecosystem, the FIDA token offers various benefits, including privileged fee structures, registration discounts, and the potential for holders to influence the SNS Improvement Protocol.
The latest price surge followed a June 5 X announcement by Bonfida stating that Solana Name Service is now live in Chinese.
