                        <p style="margin-bottom: 10px;">"The Happening" is an upcoming event in the Handshake (HNS) blockchain ecosystem scheduled for early February 2024 (block 210240). This is when the most of the 100 thousand reserved domain names becoming available for auction. This presents a significant opportunity for investors and builders to participate in the decentralized web.<br>Some of the 78 thousand domains released include high valued unique domains such as&nbsp;<strong>.tool</strong>, <strong>.hd</strong> and <strong>.code</strong></p>
                        <div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"><a class="btn btn-primary" role="button" target="_blank" href="https://l.woodburn.au/happening-domains">View all the released domains</a></div>
                        <h4 style="padding-top: 0px;">What can I do to prepare?</h4>
                        <p>The best way to prepare is by creating a list of domains you would like to bid on. Plan how much you are willing to spend before the auction happens so you don't overspend. Make sure you buy the amount of HNS you need <strong>before</strong> the fork to ensure you get a good price.</p>
                        <h4 style="padding-top: 20px;">Support HNSAU with obtaining Australian related domains</h4>
                        <p>HNSAU is a group of Australians who are enthusiastic about Handshake. We are slowly building a community in Australia to increase adoption of Handshake "down under".<br>We don't have any funding and are run by regular people. If you are interested in helping us with obtaining domains related to our cause, please contact us either via Discord (<a href="https://discord.hns.au" target="_blank">https://discord.hns.au</a>) or email (<a href="mailto:hns@hns.au">hns@hns.au</a>). Alternatively you can donate to support us with HNS&nbsp;<code>hs1qjdsz8u2ftm93jmczq8x36zqmfh3pqagq0hkkaf</code>&nbsp;or with alias <code>@donate.hnsau</code>&nbsp;</p>
