In our game, we use Ethereum Name Service (ENS) domain names as in-game usernames to provide a unique and secure identity for our players. This guide will walk you through the process of creating an ENS domain name, attaching it to your wallet, and using it as your in-game display name. Even if you’re new to ENS domains, this beginner-friendly guide will help you get started.
Understanding ENS Domain Names
- ENS is a decentralized domain name service built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to register human-readable names (like “yourname.eth”) that can be used in place of long Ethereum addresses. In our game, we use ENS domain names as in-game usernames to give players a unique and easily identifiable presence.
Creating an ENS Domain Name
- To create an ENS domain name, follow these steps:
- Visit the ENS website at https://app.ens.domains/.
- Connect your Ethereum wallet by clicking “Connect” in the top-right corner of the website.
- Enter your desired domain name in the search bar and click “Search.”
- If the name is available, click “Register” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
- Once registered, your ENS domain name will be linked to your Ethereum wallet.
Attaching Your ENS Domain Name to Your Wallet
- Your ENS domain name should now be connected to your Ethereum wallet. To double-check this, follow these steps:
- Visit the ENS website at https://app.ens.domains/.
- Connect your Ethereum wallet by clicking “Connect” in the top-right corner of the website.
- Click on “My Names” in the top-right corner to view your registered ENS domain names.
- Confirm that your newly registered ENS domain name is listed and connected to your wallet address.
Using Your ENS Domain Name as Your In-Game Display Name
- Now that you have registered and connected your ENS domain name to your wallet, you can use it as your in-game display name. To do this:
- Launch the game and navigate to the login screen.
- Connect your Ethereum wallet to the game by following the on-screen instructions.
- Your in-game display name should now reflect your ENS domain name.
Creating and using an ENS domain name as your in-game username is an easy process that provides a unique and secure identity for you within the game. By following these beginner-friendly steps, you’ll be able to register an ENS domain name, attach it to your wallet, and use it as your in-game display name in no time.
