code
import { getName } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';
 
const address = '0x02feeb0AdE57b6adEEdE5A4EEea6Cf8c21BeB6B1';
const name = await getName({ address });

Get a sliced address when showAddress is true:

code
import { getName } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';
 
const address = '0x02feeb0AdE57b6adEEdE5A4EEea6Cf8c21BeB6B1';
