Usernames PSA: ENS names are not just about decentralization! 

If you're an org or person who might be impersonated, I very strongly encourage you to use an ENS name linked to your onchain identity. It's like a self custody bluecheck that enables others to verify that you are who you say you are.

How to steps below:

1) Under Settings > Connected Addresses, connect the address that owns your ENS name:

I'm eth newbie..just learning
(working on @farcaster)

terminally.online

2) Under Settings > Edit Profile > Username, select "Add new ENS name"

3) enter an ENS name associated with one of your connected addresses in the dialog:

4) click "Add" to verify ownership. If you want to change right away, click the "Use @ensname.eth" button.

5) or, if you want to add it later, select it from the username dropdown.

Anyone could have grabbed "horsefacts", but I'm the only one who can be horsefacts.eth, and nobody can remove it or impersonate me. If you want to confirm my identity, you can look at my ENS records and activity.

We're actively working on better tooling for linking ENS names in smart contract wallets as well. I know this is an obstacle for many orgs and we will support it soon.
