This user guide shows how to send Ethereum in MetaMask digital wallet with a .locker name. MetaMask resolves .locker names through the ENS resolver. Think of this as a phone book to look up an address.

Please Note: Setting an ENS primary name is not required for sending funds. Primary names are only required for dApps that display identities.

What You Need

• MetaMask installed and updated
• ETH in your wallet for gas fees
• A valid .locker name that has an Ethereum address record assigned

Step 1: Open MetaMask digital wallet

Go to your main account screen.

Step 2: Click “send”

Press the "Send" button to open the transfer flow.

Step 3: Select the asset (ETH)

Choose Ethereum from your list of assets.

Step 4: Type the .locker name to send ETH to

In the “To” field, type the .locker name to send ETH to (example: don.locker). MetaMask will automatically detect it, resolve it via the ENS resolver, and show the correct ETH address associated with the .locker name.

You will see something like this:

don.locker
0xB1598…5C17E
Address resolved via Ethereum Name Service

Step 5: Enter the amount to send

Type the amount of ETH you want to send in the "Amount" box and click "Continue."

Step 6: Review and confirm

You will see a confirmation screen that includes:

• From address
• Resolved .locker recipient address
• Network (Ethereum)
• Network fee

If everything is correct, confirm the transaction.

That’s it!

The ETH is now sent to the address behind the .locker name.

Common FAQs

Do I need to set an ENS primary name before I can send ETH using my .locker name?‍

No. MetaMask uses the ENS resolver directly and resolves .locker names without needing a primary name. Primary names are only for dApps that display identities.

Why does MetaMask recognize .locker names?‍

MetaMask recognizes .locker names because .locker is integrated with the ENS resolver.

What if my name does not resolve?‍

Make sure your .locker name has an Ethereum address record set in your profile on my.locker.

Can I send tokens other than ETH?‍

Yes, Any asset supported by MetaMask can be sent to a .locker name as long as the recipient address supports that token.
