The problem Sei Name Service solves
Blockchain addresses are usually something like: sei1k826ve3lf0h6xyvvp3lujnefaagv873xasuqmn. They are extremely long and are nearly impossible to remember.
SNS (Sei Name Service) allows users to assign human-friendly strings in place of the long blockchain addresses.
This increases user-friendliness and adoption.
Most people would prefer to send money to "Alice.sei" rather than "sei1k826xyz...suqmn". Most of people would prefer to interact with contract "WaffleSwap.sei" rather than "sei1jn41...nblo".
Challenges I ran into
Environment setup issue. Seid CLI tool installation seems to install seid executable in a path that is different from other people. The quick start docs didn't work, requiring us to follow the workshop #7's video to run the example contract.
