How to claim a username in the Uniswap Extension

Your uni.eth username is the username for your Uniswap Extension/Wallet.

 

Usernames turn complex 0x addresses into readable names for your wallet. When you claim a username in the Uniswap Wallet, you can easily send and receive crypto and build out a public Web3 profile.

 

A maximum of five individual addresses can claim a username in the Uniswap Extension. To learn more about this limit see our article How to change or delete a username.

How to claim a username in the Uniswap Extension:

  1. Select the “Claim your uni.eth username" banner or the wallet icon.
  2. Select the three dot icon.
  3. Select “Claim username”.
  1. Select “Claim a username”.
  1. Enter your desired uni.eth username. Next, select “Continue”.
  1. Choose a profile photo. Next, select “Continue”.
  1. Select “Done”.

This username will be able to receive funds across all networks supported by the Uniswap Extension.

It works with any dapp compatible with the Ethereum Name Service. This means other wallet apps (like MetaMask, Coinbase, and others) will be able to see your Uniswap Extension username.

 

Note: A username must be a minimum of 5 characters. You can delete or change your Uniswap Extension username a maximum of two times.
