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.




1/2 - We now own the top level .palestine handshake domain, thanks to the solidarity from a member of the @HNS community. We will secure access to our archives with this alternative to standard DNS. Even if we lose our domain names, we will still be able to work now.

Handshake is the front lines of the decentralized Internet revolution. Join us! $HNS 🤝
