Linked Pre-Proposal

Should we have the option to upload profile pictures (PFP) and social contact details to Decentraland Names ?

Summary

Add customizable PFPs and attach social detail to Decentraland Names.

Abstract

Personalisation of Decentraland Names is key - right now it can be hard for a Name to stand out with every NFT displaying the same background.

Motivation

Currently, on the Decentraland Marketplace, Names appear on a grey background in white font with no option of customisation - allowing custom PFP's adds an additional layer of uniqueness to every Name. This simple yet effective option will help highlight and distinguish one Name from another whilst adding further utility and awareness.

Specification

ENS allows users to add many social links to individual domains, Decentraland should be no different. Linking social details to specific Names will help users get in contact when collaborating/negotiating.

Users could personalise their Names so they are easier to recognise or to display their hobbies/passions. Companies, businesses and brands would be able to display logos/slogans etc to their corresponding Name. Additionally, this could make it easier to differentiate specific names when browsing Names for sale.

Conclusion

Decentraland Names will no longer be dull and grey - The future is bright!
