How to Use Your Names

NNS names are designed to give users complete flexibility in choosing the identity they want to use within their favorite communities.

Unlike other naming systems, where your name is the default identity everywhere, NNS allows you to set a specific Primary Name for each community you're a part of.

For example, if you own both a .⌐◨-◨ and a .nouns name, you can choose to set the .⌐◨-◨ as your default identity and the .nouns as your identity within the Nouns ecosystem.

In this case, any NNS resolver that prioritizes .nouns will display your .nouns identity instead of your default name.
