HANDSHAKE

Handshake is a decentralized project revolutionizing the internet's naming system and certificate authority. Unlike traditional systems controlled by centralized entities like ICANN, Handshake provides a permissionless platform for managing top-level domain names and social networking usernames.


Built on the Handshake Protocol, users can participate in the network by running a node, contributing to its decentralized nature. The native currency, Handshake Coin (HNS), facilitates the transfer, registration, and update of internet names, preventing spam and ensuring fair access to domain names.


Handshake's best use lies in providing a secure, transparent, and censorship-resistant alternative to centralized naming systems, fostering a more inclusive and democratized internet infrastructure.
