Big Time in Big Apple: Highlights From Accelerate & The Solana Record Service Workshop

May 30, 2025

By Inder Singh (VP Product & Technology, D3)

Last week, D3 hosted “The Future of Solana Record Service (SRS)” track at Solana’s Accelerate conference in New York. The session introduced SRS, purpose-built to evolve naming on Solana. SRS will enable developers like D3 to bring domains on Solana. I had the pleasure of co-hosting the workshop event with our good friends from Blueshift, Txtx, and Privy.

Let’s go through everything we did in the workshop.

How SRS Brings Real Domains on Solana

We kicked off the morning with a short opener from my end about the importance of DomainFi and how Solana can benefit from Doma integration.

The domain industry is worth $350B+, however, being stuck in outdated legacy systems has severely hampered progress. As such, despite being digital, domains are still isolated because of a myriad of reasons:

Registrar silos with limited APIs
No native connection to fintech or crypto ecosystems
Legacy tech that blocks composability

The result? A massive digital-native asset class that’s illiquid and inaccessible. On the other hand, Web3 has introduced an incredible amount of liquidity to traditionally illiquid assets such as real estate.

D3 is bringing domains to Web3 in a compliant manner. SRS abstracts the complexity of token issuance and operations, allowing developers like D3 to focus on our business logic in Solana programs. This integration brings domains into Web3 with native support for Solana’s rich DeFi ecosystem.

Deep Dive: SRS Internals

Blueshift, Txtx, and our team introduced the very architectural foundations of SRS to the attendees. Over the next hour we went into the following:

Ownership models via PDAs with delegated authorities
Tokenization paths that allow records to be wrapped as NFTs with transfer logic baked in
Resolution frameworks for forward and reverse lookups
Compliance logic including domain freezing, UDRP support, and court-order enforcement

After a lunch break, Txtx led a final session focused on SRS infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management from indexing strategies to resolving subdomains at scale.

The takeaway is clear. The combination of Doma and SRS can usher in a very rich DomainFi ecosystem on Solana.

Integrating Wallet Infrastructure with Privy

Following the core SRS presentation, Privy took the stage and showed how its wallet onboarding will tie into the SRS. Their embedded wallet framework allows for one-click onboarding across dApps while abstracting away key management.

Their integration is already powering seamless user experiences on leading Solana dApps like Jupiter, and will be instrumental in onboarding the next wave of users into DomainFi-powered applications.

Solana Builder Pizza Party & SRS Sushi Night

We also hosted several events for builders and the SRS community during Accelerate, including a Builder Pizza Party on the eve of the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day and an omakase sushi night too.

The event allowed fellow builders, founders, and ecosystem projects to connect and network while munching on pizza, sushi, and drinks.

What’s Next

The SRS project is just getting started. D3’s integration with SRS will enable real domains to move from legacy infrastructure into Solana-native apps.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll release guides, SDKs, and integrations that show how Doma’s proxy architecture uses SRS to manage domain lifecycle, enforce compliance, and plug into Solana’s broader ecosystem.

To everyone who attended, contributed, or asked the tough questions, thank you. We’re building this together.

For those who missed us at Accelerate, keep an eye out because we will definitely be conducting more SRS workshops including Solana Summit next month!

See you soon!
