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:

🛠️ How to Edit Your Profile Records

To customize your public identity profile:

  1. Connect your wallet and navigate to the My Names dashboard.
  2. Select your name card and click Edit Profile / Records.
  3. Fill out the text inputs with your updated social handles, email, and description.
  4. Click Publish Records.
  5. Sign the Message: Your wallet will prompt you to sign a text signature request (e.g. Personal Sign).
    • Verify that the message clearly shows the changes you are authorizing!
  6. Once signed, the DScroll App transmits your signature and profile records to decentralized storage, and your profile is updated instantly.

[!TIP] Keep your off-chain profile records up to date! Because updates are completely gas-free, you can refine your bio, social handles, or contact information as often as you like without worrying about Base transaction fees.
