To link your .ART domain name to a Ethereum address - your wallet or any smart contract - add a TXT record into the domain name DNS zone. The name (host) for the record is "@" if you wish to link your domain name or any subhost name ("vault" for example) if you wish to link a subdomain (vault.yourname.art for example).

The value of the record is "ENS a=60;<eth-address>".

Examples

To link yourdomain.art to ethereum address 0x748c694aCEc977F4e1C98247c9895EDAa2d9a0fe add the TXT record

Name: "@"
Value: "ENS a=60;0x748c694aCEc977F4e1C98247c9895EDAa2d9a0fe"

To link sub.yourdomain.art to ethereum address 0x748c694aCEc977F4e1C98247c9895EDAa2d9a0fe add the TXT record

Name: "sub"
Value: "ENS a=60;0x748c694aCEc977F4e1C98247c9895EDAa2d9a0fe"

Step 1: find the network ID

To link a domain name to an address for other blockchain network find to network ID in "coin type" field in the list here: https://github.com/satoshilabs/slips/blob/master/slip-0044.md

Step 2: prepare the TXT record value

Having the network ID and the address your TXT record value is:

ENS a=<ID>;<address>

For example, if you are linking a domain to bitcoin address 1yGPm5L9ONIfwHSM94ytt1prBprxYrzfM2 then the TXT record value is:

ENS a=1;1yGPm5L9ONIfwHSM94ytt1prBprxYrzfM2

Step 3: add the record into your DNS domain zone

Please see links above how to add a TXT record into the zone for most popular registrars. If your registrar is not in the list you can contact their support.
