title: Guide to Profiles
description: Learn about profiles on the Blockstack network

## About profiles
Profile data is stored using Gaia on the user's selected storage provider. An example of a `profile.json` file URL using
Blockstack provided storage:
```
https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/1EeZtGNdFrVB2AgLFsZbyBCF7UTZcEWhHk/profile.json
```
Follow these steps to create and register a profile for a Blockstack username (`identifier`):
1. Create a JSON profile object
2. Split up the profile into tokens, sign the tokens, and put them in a token file
3. Create a zone file that points to the web location of the profile token file
```jsx
"account": [
{
"@type": "Account",
"service": "twitter",
"identifier": "naval",
"proofType": "http",
"proofUrl": "https://twitter.com/naval/status/12345678901234567890"
}
]
```
## Create a profile
```jsx
const profileOfNaval = {
'@context': 'http://schema.org/',
'@type': 'Person',
name: 'Naval Ravikant',
description: 'Co-founder of AngelList',
};
```
## Sign a profile as a single token
```jsx
import { makeECPrivateKey, wrapProfileToken, Person } from 'blockstack';
const privateKey = makeECPrivateKey();
const person = new Person(profileOfNaval);
const token = person.toToken(privateKey);
const tokenFile = [wrapProfileToken(token)];
```
## Verify an individual token
```jsx
import { verifyProfileToken } from 'blockstack';
try {
const decodedToken = verifyProfileToken(tokenFile[0].token, publicKey);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
```
## Recover a profile from a token file
```jsx
const recoveredProfile = Person.fromToken(tokenFile, publicKey);
```
## Validate profile schema
```jsx
const validationResults = Person.validateSchema(recoveredProfile);
```
