## Summary

Uniswap has launched uni.eth, a free web3 username that turns a 0x address into a readable name for use across web3. Users can claim a uni.eth username in the Uniswap mobile app, and existing users will be prompted to claim one with the latest app update. The usernames are built on ENS infrastructure using ENS subdomains, so they are supported by the thousands of apps that support ENS names, even outside Uniswap products. In the mobile app, claimants can also customize a public profile with an avatar, bio, and social links, though customization is optional.

Today we’re excited to launch uni.eth — your unique web3 username. Turn your 0x address into a readable username that's supported across web3. Users can now claim their uni.eth username for free in the Uniswap mobile app.

Transform your 0x address into a readable username

0x addresses are clunky and hard to read, making for a less-than-ideal user experience. Usernames change that, giving users a human-readable onchain address that’s easy to remember and use across web3. Users can claim their uni.eth usernames for free in the Uniswap mobile app – making getting started onchain that much easier.

Supported everywhere in web3

uni.eth usernames are built on ENS infrastructure, using ENS subdomains – so they’re supported across the thousands of apps that support ENS names, even outside of Uniswap products.

Customizable profile

Beyond just a username – when you claim your uni.eth username in the Uniswap mobile app, you can also customize your public profile. Add personality to your wallet by choosing an avatar, adding your bio, and linking socials. So when anyone looks up your uni.eth username, they’ll see more than just a 0x address. Customizability is completely optional.

How to claim your uni.eth

Claiming your uni.eth username is free and easy. Note that your uni.eth can only be claimed in the Uniswap mobile app (download the mobile app here). Existing users will be prompted to claim their uni.eth with the latest app update. Alternatively, users can navigate to Settings within the Uniswap mobile app, select the address they’d like their uni.eth to be associated with, select Nickname, and select Claim a Username.

**scoop3.eth**: Curious how many people would actually use it. 

**rvolz.eth**: The many new users that are coming, supposedly, if they don't buy ETFs instead. But maybe the Pudgy Penguins in Walmart can convince them to use cb.id and uni.eth for easy entry. 

**rvolz.eth**: The many new users that are joining, supposedly, if they don't buy ETFs instead. But maybe the Pudgy Penguins in Walmart stores can convince them to use uni.et or cb.id

**macbudkowski.eth**: +1 to rvolz. Many newcomers might not buy their ENS so that the subdomains would be a good entry point. I'd expect that Coinbase will be in a really good position to distribute its own subdomains. And there are also Farcaster & Lens integrations that might let people use their web3 social names.
