Why don’t you import ENS from the connected addresses rather than manual input?

You need to create a proof.

If we auto-import, someone can send an offensive ENS to your address.

Good point - also, @takeshi - for people with multiple ENS names in a wallet, it would be difficult to decern which ENS address to auto-import as the farcaster username / identity.

Yeah, there should be some UI to select preferred one(s)

There is a UI to add which ENS  names you'd like to use as identities in farcaster, and once they are added you can click on and select any of the added names from the list...

Manually adding those isn’t ideal UI but ok

It is much less resource intensive to populate the selection of ENS usernames from names that are manually entered by the user, than to auto-populate a list of every name in the wallet.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why isn't it ideal to manually enter the ENS names you would like to use as a farcaster user name?

You can only import an ENS name that is owned by the wallet connected to the farcaster profile - so ENS impersonation isn't possible.

There are 2,712,751 active ENS name spread accross 734,406 unique wallets -> it is possible that the majority of wallets hold more than one ENS name - would have to run a query in dune.

I guess you guys are based at very rare cases, sent an inappropriate ENS or many ENS in your wallet etc. Usually a user has one ENS with your address. Easier for a majority of users is “ideal”  for me. With that, you can avoid ENS impersonation too. My two cents
