Solana Domains (.skr Resolution)

Enable .skr domain name resolution in React Native apps to display human-readable names instead of wallet addresses.

What This Skill Does

Implements complete .skr domain resolution for Solana Mobile apps:

• •Forward lookup: Resolve .skr domains (e.g., alice.skr) to wallet addresses
• •Reverse lookup: Resolve wallet addresses to .skr domain names
• •Display: Show .skr names instead of truncated addresses throughout the app
• •Backend + Frontend: Integrates API endpoints into existing backend (or creates minimal Express server if none exists) plus React Native client code

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• •"Add .skr domain resolution to my app"
• •"Display .skr names instead of wallet addresses"
• •"Validate .skr domains"
• •"Show user's .skr name in their profile"
• •"Add .skr support to my React Native Solana app"
• •Integrate .skr domains anywhere wallet addresses are displayed

Integration Approach

Ask the user which integration they want:

1. •Both: Backend API + frontend integration (default, recommended)
2. •Backend only: Just the API endpoints
3. •Frontend only: Just the React Native client code (assumes backend exists)

Most users will want option 1 (both), as .skr resolution requires an API to keep RPC calls secure.

Implementation Workflow

Step 1: Assess Existing Backend

IMPORTANT: Before creating any backend, thoroughly check what the user already has:

1. •

   Search for existing backend frameworks:

   • •Look for express, fastify, nestjs, hono, koa, or other Node.js servers
   • •Check package.json files for backend dependencies
   • •Look for server entry points (server.ts, index.ts, app.ts, main.ts)
   • •Check for API route folders (routes/, api/, controllers/)
2. •

   Check for existing API structure:

   • •Existing route definitions
   • •Middleware setup
   • •How other endpoints are organized
3. •

   Ask the user if unclear:

   • •"I see you have an Express server in /backend. Should I add the .skr endpoints there?"
   • •"What backend framework are you using?"
   • •"Do you have an existing API I should integrate with?"

Step 2: Backend Implementation

Priority order:

1. •

   If existing backend found: Add the .skr resolution endpoints to the user's existing backend

   • •Match their existing code style and patterns
   • •Add routes to their existing router/app
   • •Use their existing middleware and error handling patterns
   • •Only install the new dependencies needed (@onsol/tldparser, @solana/web3.js)
2. •

   If no backend exists: Create a minimal Express API server with .skr domain resolution

Core logic to implement (framework-agnostic):

Required Packages (add to existing backend or new server):

npm install @onsol/tldparser @solana/web3.js
# Only if creating new Express server:
npm install express cors
npm install -D @types/express @types/cors typescript ts-node

Key Implementation Points:

1. •Initialize Solana connection to mainnet (https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com)
2. •Create TldParser instance: new TldParser(connection)
3. •Implement two endpoints (adapt to user's framework/routing style):
   • •POST /api/resolve-domain: Domain → Address lookup
   • •POST /api/resolve-address: Address → Domain reverse lookup
4. •Use parser.getOwnerFromDomainTld(domain) for forward lookup
5. •Use parser.getParsedAllUserDomainsFromTld(publicKey, 'skr') for reverse lookup

Adapting to existing backends:

• •Express: Add routes to existing app or router
• •Fastify: Register routes with fastify.post()
• •NestJS: Create a new controller/service
• •Hono/Koa: Add routes using their respective patterns
• •Next.js API routes: Create /api/resolve-domain.ts and /api/resolve-address.ts

See: references/backend-implementation.md for complete Express code (adapt patterns for other frameworks)

Step 3: Frontend Integration

Create React Native hook and components to call the backend API.

Required Setup:

• •API base URL: http://10.0.2.2:3000 for Android emulator (maps to localhost)
• •For physical devices: Use computer's IP address (e.g., http://192.168.1.5:3000)

Key Implementation Points:

1. •Create use-domain-lookup.ts hook with resolveDomain() and resolveAddress() methods
2. •Use hook in components to fetch .skr domains on mount
3. •Fallback to truncated addresses (e.g., 5FHw...k3wZ) when no domain found
4. •Cache results to avoid repeated API calls

Common Use Cases:

• •Profile display: Show user's .skr domain in welcome message
• •Friend lists: Replace addresses with .skr names
• •Transaction history: Display sender/receiver as .skr domains
• •Search: Allow searching by .skr domain or address

See: references/frontend-implementation.md for complete code

Step 4: Testing & Validation

After implementing:

1. •Test backend endpoints with curl or Postman
2. •Test frontend with a known .skr domain (Seeker users have these by default)
3. •Verify fallback behavior when domain doesn't exist
4. •Check error handling for invalid inputs

Key Technical Details

Domain Resolution Library

Uses @onsol/tldparser from AllDomains protocol:

• •Forward: parser.getOwnerFromDomainTld(domain) - Returns PublicKey or null
• •Reverse: parser.getParsedAllUserDomainsFromTld(publicKey, 'skr') - Returns array of domains

Important: When calling getOwnerFromDomainTld(), pass domain name WITHOUT .skr extension.

Domain Validation

A valid .skr domain:

• •Ends with .skr extension
• •Returns successfully from the AllDomains API
• •Is registered on Solana mainnet

Invalid inputs return 404 from the API.

Error Handling

Backend responses:

• •200: Success with data
• •400: Invalid input (missing/malformed domain or address)
• •404: Domain not found or address has no .skr domain
• •500: Server error (RPC issues, network problems)

Frontend behavior:

• •On error: Fall back to truncated address display
• •Show loading states during API calls
• •Handle network failures gracefully

Resources

Backend Implementation

Reference Express API code with TypeScript. Adapt this to the user's existing backend framework:

• •Core domain resolution logic (framework-agnostic)
• •Example Express routes (adapt for Fastify, NestJS, Hono, Next.js API routes, etc.)
• •Error handling and validation patterns
• •Package.json with required dependencies

File: references/backend-implementation.md

Frontend Implementation

React Native integration code including:

• •Custom useDomainLookup() hook
• •Example components for different use cases
• •Mobile Wallet Adapter integration
• •Utility functions for address truncation
