With the success of ENS names on the Ethereum Blockchain. We see more and more Twitter users updating their name with a ".eth" handle e.g. vitalik.eth, barmstrong.eth and Fallon.eth&#x20;

We anticipate the same within the PulseChain community, and we would like to remind you of some privacy practices to mitigate the full transparency of your wallet(s).

Once you purchase a .eth or .pls name and make it public(Twitter, telegram profile etc.), others have a complete view of your wallet, as your .eth or .pls name is connected to your address and is visible on the blockchain.

**For many, this is fine as they like to publicly showcase their NFT collection and token holdings or use a .pls domain that is not tied to their public persona.**

However, if you like to own your .pls domain name and not show off your entire holdings, we recommend following the steps below.

## Steps in Preserving Your Privacy (PulseChain Testnet)

* Create a new account address within your wallet (See guides: [Metamask](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015289452-How-to-create-an-additional-account-in-your-wallet), [Ledger](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404389482641-Add-your-accounts?docs=true) or [Trezor](https://wiki.trezor.io/User_manual:Using_multiple_accounts))
* Request 10 tPLS (testnet PLS) from the official [PulseChain Testnet Faucet](https://faucet.v4.testnet.pulsechain.com/)
* Go to [Pulse Domains](https://v4.app.pulse.domains/) and purchase a .pls domain name
