+# Handypedia
+
+Welcome to the Handshake Wiki,
+for all your Handshake information needs.
+This wiki is maintained by the Handshake community.
+
+## Handshake
+![hnsw.png](/hnsw.png)
+[Handshake](https://en.handypedia.org/wiki/Handshake) is a decentralized DNS root zone that eliminates the need to trust potential bad actors like ICANN and certificate authorities. Handshake uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: domain ownership and transfers are carried out collectively by the network.
+
+Handshake is a completely decentralized project and there is no official singular Foundation, Committee, Corporation, or entities in permanent unitary control of the protocol.
+
+Handshake is the first successful implementation of a *distributed alternative DNS root zone*. Building upon the notion that the internet should be decentralized, Handshake is designed around the idea of using cryptography to control the creation and transfer of top-level domains, rather than relying on central authorities.
+
+Handshake names have all the desirable properties of a top-level domain. They are secure, private, durable, useful, and difficult to counterfeit.
+
+## Why
+Names on Handshake are valuable over legacy systems because they are secured by a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Handshake seeks to address the root problem with legacy DNS: all the trust that's required to make it work -- Not that justified trust is a bad thing, but trust makes systems brittle, opaque, and costly to operate. Trust failures result in systemic collapses, trust curation creates inequality and monopoly lock-in, and naturally arising trust choke-points can be abused to deny access to due process. Through the use of cryptographic proof, decentralized networks, and open source software, Handshake minimizes and replaces these trust costs.
+
+Handshake names are:
+- Permissionless and borderless. The software can be installed by anybody worldwide.
+- Anonymous. Handshake does not require any ID to use making it suitable for the the privacy-conscious.
+- Private. When used with care Handshake can support strong privacy.
+- Censorship-resistant. Nobody is able to block or seize a name on Handshake.
+- Online and available 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
