ENS App and Explorer are on the Sepolia testnet. Features may change before mainnet.
Records are the information stored on your name: the address it points to, your avatar and social links, and a decentralised website. Anyone can read them. To edit them, connect the wallet that owns the name and open the Records tab in ENS Explorer.
Good to know
Records are stored by the name's resolver: a contract on the Ethereum network that answers questions about the name.
Saving is a transaction, so you need a little ETH for gas. Gas is the network fee; your wallet shows it before you approve. All your pending changes go into one save, however many records you edit.
Edit your records
Open your name's page and select the Records tab. As the owner you see an Edit records button. Select it.
Choose a record Type. Text adds a Key field for the record's name; keys look like
descriptionorcom.twitter. Address adds a Coin dropdown to pick the chain.Enter the value and select Add record. This only stages the change; nothing is sent yet. A bar at the bottom of the page shows how many changes are pending, with Discard and Save.
Add or change as many records as you want, including addresses for several chains, then select Save. Explorer shows the estimated cost.
Select Start, then Open wallet, and approve the transaction in your wallet. The page shows Syncing changes… while it catches up, then returns to the Records tab with the new values.
The records that matter most
Address (ETH): the wallet your name points at. This is what lets people send funds to
yourname.eth.Text records: profile details such as your avatar, description and social handles (for example
com.twitter).Contenthash: links your name to a decentralised website (one hosted on a peer-to-peer network such as IPFS).
Common questions
Why don't I see an Edit records button?
The Edit records button only appears when the connected wallet is allowed to manage the name. Check you are connected with the wallet that owns the name, or with a wallet that holds the role for the record you want to change.
Can I undo a change before saving?
Yes. Until you select Save, nothing has been sent. Discard clears every pending change at once, or delete a single staged row from the list.
What happens if I reject the transaction in my wallet?
Your staged edits are kept. The bar at the bottom shows the rejection with Dismiss and Retry. Retry reopens the save flow; Dismiss clears the error and leaves your edits in place.
Why can't I save when it says to fix validation errors?
An Address record with a badly formed value is flagged in the staged list after you select Add record. The save button stays blocked until you correct the value. Fix or delete the flagged row and save again.
Why does my ETH record say "60 ETH"?
Each chain has a number called a coin type, from a wallet standard named SLIP-44. Ethereum is 60, Bitcoin is 0, Solana is 501. The Coin dropdown picks that number, so an Ethereum address record shows as 60 ETH. An address record only points the name at an address on that chain. It does not make the name your primary name on that chain (the name apps show for your wallet). That is set separately, on your address page under Reverse Resolution.
Why is a record empty or missing on a name?
Most names set only the records they need, often just the ETH address and an avatar. Writing a record costs gas, so an empty tab usually means the owner has not set that value. If a record you expected is missing, check the name's Resolver tab: a custom resolver (one that is not the standard ENS one) may answer only some record types, and Explorer shows which ones.
