In the ENS Manager App, browse to your name. You should see a banner at the top with an Upgrade button:

Click the Upgrade button, and a dialog will pop up showing you the necessary steps:

The first "Approve NameWrapper" transaction will approve the Name Wrapper contract as an operator on the ENS registry for your account.

  • If you have already done this in the past, then you will not see this step.

  • The second "Migrate profile" step refers to copying all your profile records into the new resolver contract.

    • If you don't have any profile records set on your name, then you will not see this step.

  • The third "Wrap name" step will set the manager of your name to the Name Wrapper contract. You will be issued an ERC-1155 wrapped NFT in return.

Click on Start to begin the process. You will see a confirm screen for the first transaction:

You will only see this step if you have not already approved the Name Wrapper contract. If you have already done this step in the past, then skip to the next screenshot below.

Click on Open Wallet to send the first transaction to your wallet for you to approve.

Once the transaction is confirmed, click on Next to go to the next step:

You will only see this step if you have any profile records set on your name. If you don't have any set, then skip to the next screenshot below.

Click on Open Wallet to send the second transaction to your wallet for you to approve.

Once the transaction is confirmed, click on Next to go to the next step:

Click on Open Wallet to send the third transaction to your wallet for you to approve.

Once the transaction is confirmed, click on Done:

That's it! Now your name is wrapped!

You'll be able to tell in the ENS Manager App, because there is no longer the "Upgrade" banner at the top. Also, you should now see the extra "Permissions" tab at the top.


Next steps

Now that your name is wrapped, any subnames you create under this name will now automatically be wrapped as well.

Also, you will now have access to the Permissions (Fuses) section in the manager. Read the Fuses page for more information, and the Change Permissions page for instructions on how to change permissions on wrapped names.
