Handshake News

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 As part of our ongoing review and efforts to handle the current situation responsibly, we have now enabled functionality on Namebase.io that allows users to: - Transfer domain names out of Namebase - Enable auto-renew for domain names - Deposit HNS to cover fees These actions are being made available in a structured and consistent manner so that all users have the ability to maintain control over their domain assets. Please note: - No economic changes have been made - Domain transfer fees remain 1 HNS per domain - Renewal fees remain 10 HNS per domain - Auto-renew can be enabled to help prevent expiration - If you use a GitHub login, reset your password using that email Cryptocurrency withdrawals remain paused while our review continues. This step is intended to ensure that users can manage and protect their domain names while we work through the broader issues affecting the platform. We are continuing to work toward a responsible path forward and will share further updates as they become available. — Namebase Team

We want to provide an IMPORTANT UPDATE regarding the Namebase platform. As previously communicated, the platform was taken offline on February 1 to complete a planned migration. During this process, we have been conducting a comprehensive review of the Company’s financial, operational, and compliance position. This review has identified issues that require additional investigation and careful handling before the platform can safely reopen. We understand that the extended downtime has been frustrating, and we appreciate your patience. Domain Transfers 👉One of our priorities right now is ensuring that users can maintain control over their domain names. 👀👀👀 We are actively working on a solution that will allow users to transfer domains out of Namebase in a structured and consistent way. 👉 We will share detailed instructions and timing as soon as this functionality is ready. Current Status - The platform remains offline while this review continues - Cryptocurrency withdrawals remain paused - We are focused on resolving these issues responsibly and transparently We know this is not the experience you expected, and we are taking this situation seriously. Our goal is to move forward in a way that is fair and responsible to all users. We will continue to provide updates as we are able. — Namebase Team

Yes, traditional domain names are centralized. ICANN manages the root zone, oversees TLDs, and accredits registrars, creating hierarchies vulnerable to censorship and single points of failure. Handshake has the best decentralized design. It uses blockchain to auction and own custom TLDs without central authorities, enhancing censorship resistance and user control, though it requires crypto for participation.

Namebase is currently down, but Handshake never sleeps. Lots of good names are at auction. How to participate? 1) Check auctions at shakeshift.com 2) Download @bob_wallet_hns (self-custody) or register at @Shake_Station 3) Get $HNS at @coinexcom, @MEXC_Official or 🤝/

G'day everyone, Just a reminder that for people owning/using domains in everyone can renew addresses that you need to renew your domain every 2 years. You can do this using the hs-everyone cli tool or for a 10 HNS fee at renew.hns.au $HNS

Our CEO @wolf31o2 will be speaking about their work on Cardano and Handshake and how they are working with partners across the gamut. It's always DNS. 😅
