Managing Profile Records (Off-Chain Records)
Under the My Names dashboard, users have full control over their public Web3 digital profile. The Off-Chain Record engine enables users to enrich their identity with rich metadata entirely gas-free.
⚡ The Power of Gas-Free Records
Historically, in early naming services, updating a simple email address, Twitter handle, or avatar link required executing an on-chain blockchain transaction and paying network gas fees. This made updating profiles expensive and inconvenient.
DScroll implements a highly advanced cryptographic off-chain signing protocol:
- Zero Transaction Cost: Users update their profiles by simply signing a secure, readable verification message with their private key.
- No Gas Required: Because signatures are checked off-chain, updating contact info, descriptions, or social links is 100% free of network charges.
- Secured by Cryptography: The records can only be updated by the actual owner of the name NFT, as the system validates the cryptographic signature before storing changes.
📝 Customizable Record Types
Within the Edit Records screen, users can attach a wide variety of public parameters to their identity:
| Record Type | Category | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Biography | Social | Web3 developer & DAO contributor |
| Avatar URL | Media | https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZxY... |
| Email Address | Contact | contact@alice.xyz |
| Twitter / X | Social | @AliceWeb3 |
| GitHub Handle | Developer | alice-dev |
| Telegram User | Social | @alice_tg |
