# show human-readable names and identity

> ENS turns raw addresses into names and profile metadata, while a wallet/auth layer like Privy gives you the connected account to resolve in the first place.

## Recommended stack

- **ENS (Ethereum Name Service)** (wallet_and_identity) — readiness 80/100, difficulty low — Resolve addresses to primary names and read avatar/text records for profiles.
- **Privy** (wallet_and_identity) — readiness 82/100, difficulty low — Handle login and wallet creation, then enrich the connected account with its ENS identity.

## Risks

- Not every address has a primary name; always fall back to a truncated address.
- Reverse records can be unset or stale; verify forward resolution before trusting a name.

## Next steps

- Resolve the connected wallet's primary ENS name and avatar on load.
- Cache lookups and fall back gracefully when no name is set.
