Start by claiming a name you can remember, then wire it to the crypto addresses you actually use. Search for an available handle, register it, and set it as your Primary Name so apps can show it next to your wallet. In your profile, add the addresses you want people to pay: ETH, BTC, SOL, and others via multi‑coin records. Drop in an avatar and social links through text records so anyone can confirm they’re sending to the right person. From then on, friends type your name instead of a long hexadecimal string in most wallets and dapps. If you change wallets, just update the record—your contacts keep using the same name. Turn on renewal reminders and keep your owner key on a hardware wallet; use a separate manager key for day‑to‑day edits.
For teams, creators, and DAOs, treat one name as your root and issue subnames for roles and services: treasury.root, ops.root, alice.root. Assign each subname to the person or contract responsible, and rotate keys without replacing the handle. Store important metadata—support email, website, Discord—once, and keep it consistent across tools that read ENS records. Use a multisig for the parent name while letting contributors control their own subnames. You can even mirror an existing web domain into the system so your current brand and your on‑chain identity match. When a contributor leaves, revoke or reassign their subname without touching the rest of the namespace. more
