How to Set Up Your Starknet ID for a Human-Readable On-Chain Identity

Replace your complex hexadecimal Starknet address with a memorable .stark name. This process takes about 10 minutes and eliminates the need to copy and paste long wallet addresses for transactions.

You will create a personal on-chain identity that works across the entire Starknet ecosystem. Follow these steps to register your name and configure your digital passport.

Simplified digital identity representation

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

1. Navigate to the Starknet ID application.
2. Click "Connect Wallet."
3. Select your Starknet-compatible wallet (Braavos, ArgentX, or similar).
4. Approve the connection request in your wallet.

Verify: Your wallet's address should appear in the top-right corner of the interface.

Step 2: Check Name Availability

1. Enter your desired name in the search field.
2. Confirm the name is 3+ characters and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.
3. Click "Search."
4. If available, proceed to registration.
5. If taken, modify your choice and search again.

Choose a short, memorable name. Shorter names cost more but offer better usability.

Step 3: Complete Registration

1. Review the registration fee displayed.
2. Select the registration duration (1-10 years).
3. Click "Register."
4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
5. Wait for blockchain confirmation, which usually takes 30-60 seconds.

Your .stark name is now active and resolves to your wallet address.

User interface for blockchain interactions

Step 4: Configure Your Digital Passport

1. Access your name's management panel.
2. Add Web2 profiles:
   • Twitter handle
   • Discord username
   • GitHub profile
3. Add Web3 data:
   • ENS domains
   • Other blockchain addresses
4. Save changes.

This creates a unified identity across platforms. Other users can verify your credentials through your .stark name.

Step 5: Test Your Setup

1. Share your .stark name with another Starknet user.
2. Ask them to send a small test transaction to your name.
3. Confirm the transaction reaches your wallet.
4. Verify your attached profiles display correctly.

If the test fails, check that your name properly resolves to your wallet address in the management panel.
