The Internet’s weakest trust anchor is the DNS root. Handshake (HNS) replaces it with Mathematics.

0100

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

The DNS root is the single most centralized layer of the Internet. Handshake (HNS) replaces that chokepoint with a blockchain-secured root: cryptographic ownership of TLDs, DNSSEC by default, and no institutional gatekeepers.

0101

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

Handshake isn’t about replacing domains like .com. It’s about replacing the root zone file controlled by ICANN . Names → cryptographic property, not bureaucratic leases.

080

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 16/09/2025

Handshake integrates with existing DNS via recursive resolvers. Resolvers can merge HNS + @ICANN zones → no disruption. That’s the “soft landing” strategy for decentralizing the root.

060

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

DNSSEC is not optional on Handshake. It’s enforced at the root. That means cryptographic proof of authenticity is the default state, not an add-on.

*tools Satoshi: "I think it would be possible for BitDNS to be a completely separate network and separate block chain, yet share CPU power with Bitcoin. The only overlap is to make it so miners can search for proof-of-work for both networks simultaneously." bitcointalk.org/index.php?to...

Different protocols, different purposes.

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

Handshake is secured by Bitcoin-like PoW, not proof-of-stake. That means: censorship resistance is baked in at the consensus layer, not dependent on validator politics.

Just like Bitcoin, we all pay the price we deserve

HNS domains can serve as DIDs, logins, wallets, websites, and more. The top 100k Alexa names were reserved for their rightful owners, and all ICANN TLDs are reserved. The remaining TLDs were opened to humanity through an on-chain auction mechanism. I can’t think of a fairer distribution system.

100

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

The auction system did help reduce squatting at scale. Since bids lock up funds for 7–14 days and there is a limited supply of HNS coins, even whales had to pick their spots instead of just scooping everything. Without that friction, we’d likely have seen far more mass squatting from the start.

Early internet domains made millionaires. Handshake TLDs could be the next big opportunity. Own entire top-level domains, not just subdomains. The land grab is happening now. #Handshake #Domains

070

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Why should ICANN control the internet's root zone? Handshake creates a peer-to-peer alternative where no single entity decides what domains exist. The internet belongs to everyone. #DecentralizedDNS

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Handshake ≠ ENS. ENS: subdomains of .eth, centralized around Ethereum contracts. Handshake: owns the root namespace itself, competing with .com, .org, .net. Different layers, different threats.

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

Same goes for .com's or any other extension or naming system. You can still find great bargains at: shakestation.io namebase.io These options are definitely cheaper than trying to acquire an ICANN TLD. You can also discover TLDs that are about to expire here: shakeshift.com/names/expiring

Why HNS matters: Proof-of-Work secures consensus Bidding + Vickrey auction avoids squatting DNSSEC baked in from genesis Names can be bridged to traditional DNS via recursive resolvers

Building on Handshake? The ecosystem needs more developers creating tools, resolvers, and applications. Help build the decentralized web's foundation. #HandshakeHNS #Developers #Web3

Handshake (HNS) @handshake.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I think you’ll need to be the one to build it. It’s probably just a small change in the code to add HNS support, since it works the same way as DNS. DM me if you’d like me to send you the contacts of the devs from the deprecated Stem Socials HNS Bluesky server.

HNS briefly worked on BSKY. I’m not sure why they stopped, since I saw it as a beautiful solution that was also compatible with legacy domains. There was also an attempt at a PDS called Stems Social by @brown.bsky.social and @rithvik.bsky.social , but that was discontinued as well.

The internet was built to be free and open. Handshake $HNS is taking back control from centralized gatekeepers, domain ownership directly in the hands of users. No more censorship, no more single points of failure. True digital sovereignty starts with owning your namespace.

Did you know that when names are auctioned on the Handshake Blockchain, the winner pays the second highest bid and that $HNS is burned? 🔥 Yep. Over 10.5 percent (71M HNS) of the circulating supply (670M) has been burned to date. 🔥

China isolated itself from the global internet for an hour on Wednesday. The Great Firewall blocked all traffic to port 443 when Beijing had no clear reason to restrict its citizens' internet access. m.slashdot.org/story/445808

The decentralized root zone of the internet, known as the Handshake protocol is called a soft fork for the internet because it is backward compatible with the legacy internet and all of the ICANN TLDs (.com, .biz, .net etc) are reserved for claim by their owners. $HNS 🤝

Biometrics or ID uploads to send/receive emails sound secure but kill email’s open nature, risk surveillance, & block legit emails from non verified users.

Blockchain email validation can't fully stop spam or phishing. It only verifies senders. A permission system in mail or messenger servers/clients, allowing or blocking specific TLDs or SLDs, could more effectively filter unauthorized senders, enhancing security.
