there's some confusion around farcaster names, so let me clear this up: - your username on farcaster is ALWAYS an ENS name - one kind of ens name is the farcaster name (v.farcaster.eth shown in client as @v) - the other kind of ens name is the L1 name (dwr.eth shown in client as @dwr.eth)

Farcaster names like (@v) are actually defined at the protocol level as (@v.farcaster.eth) using a standard ENS CCIP read. We truncate the names to (v) when shown in the app because its a bit tedious to type @v.farcaster.eth or show it in every user interface. Farcaster names are controlled by us. They're free so its easy to sign up, but we prevent squatting.

@v
Farcaster names like (@dwr.eth) are also ENS names using the L1 ENS standard. We show these in full (dwr.eth) so that you're aware they're a fully onchain, decentralized name controlled by the user, and not by Farcaster.

While we’re at it, any chance to allow ENS subnames in the profile? So people could choose foo.bar.eth for example

@roadu
feature request: i'd like to be able to connect my owned ens (roadu.eth) as my farcaster @ but still have it show up as @roadu instead of @roadu.eth because it looks cleaner
