In todayโs article, Scott Florcsk, owner of the long-established .wallet/ extension on Handshake, shares his frustration following ICANNโs latest reveal of proposed gTLDs.
He discusses the potential conflict with his extension, which has been operational for years, and offers some direct advice to the Handshake community on where it should go from here.
Itโs Your Move, Handshake. โช๏ธ

The custodial legacy Namebase site is now closed.
Unclaimed TLDs will expire.
Unclaimed dollarydoos will be subject to unclaimed property laws.
We will continue to renew previously staked TLDs that have currently registered domains.
If you still have assets on the old platform and want to begin the recovery process, write us at [email protected].

good to see #HNS #Handshake return to roots ..
One of Handshake's original ideas was incentivized gifting.
The idea was simple:
Sometimes giving something valuable away can make the entire network more valuable.
We're bringing that philosophy to the new Namebase.
TLD owners now have two different tools:
Reserved Names
Set aside names you don't want available for public registration. Protect brands, special names, community namesโor simply save something for later.
Gifting
Know exactly who should have a name? Give it to them. Gift the registration for free.
And with Irrevocable Domains, you can even gift the permanent mint.
No registration cost.
No mint cost.
No renewals.
No expiration.
The most valuable domain in your namespace could be the one you give, and could even make the namespace more valuable for everyone.
Incentivized gifting.
An old Handshake idea, with some new infrastructure behind it.
Live now. ๐ค

Namebase is not Handshake.
Handshake is a revolutionary and evolutionary protocol that we seek to make more useful and valuable.
The purpose of cryptocurrency is trust minimization and censorship resistance, moving power to the periphery.
This is the purpose of Handshake.
A new idea is a revolution and evolution.
โThe resistance to a new idea is equal to the square of its importance.โ
We will continue to resist the namebankers attempts to centralize and control the internet.
Today, Handshake is 100% in the hands of the people.
We have the power.
Long live Handshake!

Six planets align before dawn,
the Moon steps before the Sun,
Perseids streak till night is gone,
and a new domain has begun.
Six worlds, one shadow, ancient light,
the sky itself clearing space,
the universe aligned tonight
for the mark, the unknown, the letter X
.x/ is live!

Wanna talk Handshake?
The .hns chatroom is now open at namebase.io
You need a .hns domain to see the .hns room.
Namebase general and support chat channels are open to everyone with a domain or TLD.

Today marks a new chapter for Namebase.
We've evolved into a non-custodial registry and registrar for decentralized domains.
With the new platform you can now:
โข ๐ Register domains on Handshake TLDs
โข ๐ท๏ธ List and operate your own Handshake TLD
โข ๐ฒ Set your own pricing and price rules
โข โญ Create premium and reserved names
โข ๐ Receive payments directly to your own wallet
โข ๐ Manage your registry through a simple dashboard
โข ๐ค Withdraw your "staked" Handshake TLDs or migrate them to the new platform
We look forward to quickly adding new features, new options, additional protocols, and upgraded infrastructure as requested by the community.
NOTE: If you previously purchased SLDs through one of our partner registrars (PorkBun, Namecheap, 101, Encrica, HNSID, etc)... support for claiming those domains into your Namebase account is coming soon.
REMINDER: Namebase no longer provides custody services. If you still hold assets on the old Namebase, withdraw your assets (HNS, BTC, and TLDs) from sunset.namebase.io before October 1st, 2026.

Our first release of our Handshake full-node (called, creatively, handshake-node) has been published.
Handshake is an implementation of Satoshi's Namecoin concept, forked from Bitcoin and updated for DNS specific usage. Our node is a refactor of btcsuite/btcd for HNS.
