⚠ Before You Begin
With ENSv2 on the horizon, we suggest waiting before burning fuses to lock names. Locked names in the Name Wrapper will only be migratable to L1, so if you want to be able to issue trustless subnames on Namechain your best option is to wait until namechain is live. Learn more: ENSv2 Hub

If I wrap or unwrap my name, will I lose my profile records?
Wrapping or unwrapping does not remove existing profile records such as text records, avatars, or addresses. However, when a resolver update is applied during wrapping or unwrapping, it will clear your existing profile records. The ENS app automatically applies the latest public resolver, which can cause this. You can re-add your profile records afterwards to the new resolver.
