# Customizing Your Identity

Make your name more than a label - make it a reflection of who you are.

Once you've minted your `.hype` name, you can personalize it with metadata, visual assets, and text fields. This not only makes your identity expressive - it also makes it legible to other dApps and dashboards.

### 🎭 Set an Avatar

* Choose from a selection of backgrounds (initial options: first 1,000 get a special version)
* Upload an image or select a preset (if/when offchain avatar hosting is enabled)

### 📝 Add Text Records

* Twitter handle, website, GitHub profile
* Any other metadata you want publicly associated with your name
* Compatible with ENS-style `text()` records

### 🪪 Claim Your Primary Name

* Set your `.hype` name as your default reverse record so it shows up in wallet UIs and supported apps

### 🔗 Visibility in Ecosystem

* When integrations go live, your name + metadata will display directly in partner protocols (e.g. Hyperswap trading profile)
* Text records can be queried by bots, dashboards, or other apps for identity display

> Every personalization adds structure and visibility to your onchain identity.
