Info

Handshake is a naming protocol that’s backwards compatible with the existing DNS system. It does not replace the DNS protocol, but instead decentralizes the root zone file where TLD ownership information is stored by adding a distributed and decentralized blockchain-based system that no one controls and anyone can use. This allows for a root zone that is uncensorable, permissionless, and free of gatekeepers like ICANN.
In addition, it is much cheaper than other blockchain domain systems as there isn't any company looking for profits.

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 allows you to own your own top level domain (kinda like .au). So you can stop renting yourname.com.au and really 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.
