Good to Know

  • To Edit Records is a gas only transaction requiring ETH on Ethereum Mainnet

  • The Manager role can update the records of a name.

    • For wrapped names, the Manager is merged into the Owner role, which can update records.

  • The total gas required is based on the amount of data that is being updated in the records.


An alternative to Edit Profile, you can use the Edit Records button to add the same types of records, as well as add multiple custom records in one transaction.


How to Edit Records

1. Select Edit Records

Go to the ENS App, connect your wallet, Open the Records tab of your name, then click Edit Records.

2. Select record type and click 'add record'

3. Add the specific records

In the new field that appears, type in the name of your Custom Record. Records traditionally use a reverse notation, e.g. com.youtube for youtube.com and then click Add. Type in a value for your new record.

4. Confirm the transaction

When ready, Click Save, then Open Wallet and confirm the transaction. Once complete, the updated records will display.


FAQ

Why don't I have a manager?

Names wrapped in the name wrapper do not have manager, instead the Manager role is merged into the Owner-role. Names registered via the ENS App are automatically wrapped. More information here.

Add a Custom Service Key like xyz.farcaster

Some types of ENS records use a key name formatted in "reverse dot notation". These are known as "Service Keys" as specified in ENSIP-5.

For example, you want to save your YouTube channel name in your ENS records. To create a custom record for the YouTube account service, simply name the key com.youtube and set its value to your YouTube channel name.
