Info

Handshake is a naming protocol designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing DNS system. Rather than replacing DNS, it decentralizes the root zone file, which stores TLD ownership data, by utilizing a distributed, blockchain-based system that operates without centralized control and is accessible to all. This creates a root zone that is uncensorable, permissionless, and independent of gatekeepers like ICANN. Additionally, Handshake offers a cost-effective alternative to other blockchain domain systems, as it operates without profit-driven entities.

Stop renting yourname.com.au/
Own yourname/

Handshake empowers you to own your own top-level domain (similar to .au), enabling you to move beyond renting domains like yourname.com.au and truly possess yourname/ in a decentralized system.
