+ Public Statement of Use
+Handshake Australia is a non-profit initiative promoting open, decentralised naming and online identity free from central control.
Our Tagline — “Own The Dot” — reflects the spirit of digital freedom, self-sovereignty, and empowerment that defines our community. It symbolises the belief that everyone should have the right to their own digital identity, independent of centralised systems.
We use “Own The Dot” to identify and promote our mission across educational, community, and awareness platforms. The tagline is not trademarked or owned by any individual or organisation.
We welcome others to share and use “Own The Dot” in good faith, provided that:
• It is not used for commercial gain or misrepresentation,
• It respects the open and decentralised values of the Handshake ecosystem, and
• Acknowledgment is given to Handshake Australia as the originator of the tagline.
This statement serves as a public declaration of use and intent, protecting the integrity of the tagline while keeping it open to the community it was created for.
Together, we uphold the belief that true ownership online begins with freedom — to build, share, and connect on your own terms.
