**Description:**

Integrate support for RNS (RIF Name Service) into MetaMask to enable human-readable blockchain addresses across multiple networks. RNS is a decentralized naming system built on Rootstock and has evolved into a multichain name service compatible with various EVM-compatible networks.

With this integration, MetaMask users will be able to resolve `.rsk` domain names into blockchain addresses, simplifying transactions, improving user experience, and reducing the risk of errors when sending assets.

**Purpose:**

The primary goal is to enhance MetaMask’s usability and accessibility across the Rootstock ecosystem and other EVM-compatible chains where RNS is supported. As a multichain resolver, RNS enables users to manage and resolve names across multiple chains from a single domain.

Adding native RNS support in MetaMask would:

- Promote decentralization by supporting open naming protocols.
- Strengthen MetaMask’s position as a multichain-friendly wallet by supporting emerging decentralized identity and naming services beyond ENS.

**Additionally** , the Rootstock Labs integration team is willing to collaborate closely and implement the technical integration if the proposal is accepted by the MetaMask team.

**Extension/Mobile/Both:**

Rootstock clearly leading the back in terms of DeFi on Bitcoin. Total no-brainer to add this alongside a proper native integration. Especially with the native Ledger and Trezor integrations already in place.

Really like this proposal. The points raised here make a strong case for improving user experience through RNS integration in MetaMask—especially with human-readable names and multichain support. If it moves forward, it could bring meaningful value to the ecosystem. Great to see it!

Hi @_Star, we did a [PR](https://github.com/MetaMask/core/pull/5973) with an interesting workaround. Please share it with the team. Thanks

Dev team is typically pretty active on Github. But i’ll put in a request for them to review it in internal channels as well.
