Hey @nattaja - sorry for the late response here. I missed this notification.

The contents of the JSON file hosted on Gaia is intentionally not included in the zonefile. The purpose of the design of that "profile.json" file is so that you don't have to make on-chain zonefile updates when you update your profile.json file. For apps that want to lookup information from that JSON file, the flow is:

• Fetch the name's zonefile
• Fetch the URL stored in the _http._tcp record (the profile.json file)
• Return information from the apps property

Additionally, apps have zero control or ability to update your profile.json file. Only a wallet can do that.

thanks @hstove for your response, i understand it right what if we will inscribe zonefile at ordinals for bns name, we will not need to make changes on-chain (new inscription not needed), but at Gaia we can update Json with new info ?
