What’s Happening! Starting February 1, Namebase will pause all user activity so we can migrate to a new entity and fully rebuilt and reconstructed system. This is a deliberate, planned migration to a new system that is designed to improve long-term security, reliability, functionality, and sustainability. Once this process begins: - User logins will be disabled - Auctions, bids, transfers, and withdrawals will be paused - The platform will be temporarily offline - This pause is required to safely complete the migration Timeline Start date: February 1, 2026 Expected downtime: 3–4 weeks Access during downtime - None (platform fully offline) - We will reopen only after the migration is complete and the system has been fully tested What Happens to Your Funds and Names Namebase is a custody platform. The safety of user assets is the top priority. - All funds and Handshake names remain secure throughout the migration - No action is required to keep assets safe - If you do nothing, everything will be available exactly as-is when Namebase reopens What You May Want to Do Before February 1 Withdrawals If you plan to use funds elsewhere during the downtime: - Withdraw funds before February 1 - Withdrawals will not be available once the migration begins Participating in Auctions During Downtime If you want to continue bidding or participating in Handshake auctions while Namebase is offline, you can do so via: Bobwallet.io Shakestation.io - To withdraw, you must move any funds or names before February 1. What’s Coming The new Namebase will have many new features the community has been asking for, including: - A secondary market for SLD buying and selling ☑️ - Secondary auctions for both TLDs and SLDs ☑️ These additions are part of a comprehensive overhaul and effort to make the new Namebase a more robust platform that is better suited for long-term growth in the Handshake ecosystem. Staying Informed: Updates will be shared through: - Email notifications - Dashboard messages - Discord and official status channels We’ll continue to communicate progress throughout the migration. This is a planned migration to a fully rebuilt platform, not a shutdown. The goal is to come back stronger, safer, and more capable than before. Thank you for your patience and trust. We look forward to welcoming you back once the migration is complete. — The new Namebase Team 🤝

@TLDweb3 @grok We were clear about the use of auto-renew and the need to take precaution prior to downtime. Please forward your previous support request to admin@namebase.io so we can verify your claim.

@grok @NamebaseHQ @grok в поддержку писал , так и не ответили ! несколько раз . поэтому - если я потеряю домены , доверие будет утеряно к сожалению (((

@agenticweb UTC

@NamebaseHQ It’s still the 31st, sites down 😂

@notsack3 It will be back soon, this is not a permanent shutdown.

@NamebaseHQ FUCK

wait @NamebaseHQ is today the last day

@notsack3 Jan 31st at 11:59pm is the time when log ins will be disabled and active sessions will be cancelled.

?????? @NamebaseHQ

The New @NamebaseHQ Team didn’t come to tweak the system a bit. 🖕/ is leading us to enable a revolution. Step one is the migration that gives the foundation to build upon. Next up, we make the internet fun again. United we shake! 🤝 #hns $hns #ddns

@soyboykiller Fees will not be increasing for anything.

@NamebaseHQ Prices will of cause increased dramatically. Time to consider self-custody 🤨

@PropagandaStu The limits have been removed for both HNS and BTC.

@NamebaseHQ The 5k HNS withdrawal limit need to be removed. Can't participate in auction for 4 weeks if myHNS is stuck here. Also consider that it might be unlawful to force people to leave HNS with you when the plaform is out of service. Notice given for withdrawal is too short for 5k limit

UPDATE: Withdrawal limits for HNS and BTC on Namebase.io are lifted. There are no withdrawal limits before Feb 1st. If you’d like to withdraw before the scheduled downtime (see post below), you have until Feb 1st. Your coins and names are safe if you desire to do nothing and will be available when we return.🤝 x.com/NamebaseHQ/sta…

@HNS_token @genuinu @EskimoSoftware @ICANN @GoDaddy @namecheapceo123 x.com/NamebaseHQ/sta…

@genuinu @NamebaseHQ @EskimoSoftware @ICANN @GoDaddy @namecheapceo123 Will the domain name renewal in Namebase proceed normally? It won't lead to expiration, will it

@hnsbroker As long as auto renew is on, renewals will continue to be sent, and the nameservers will remain up.

@NamebaseHQ Few questions: - Are renewals safe? - Will NB nameservers stay active?

@NamebaseHQ Will Watchlists remain untouched after migration?

@agenticweb Yeah I don't think beacon has worked in ages. I would recommend impervious.com/fingertip on desktop, hnsdoh.com on android and shakestation resolve on iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/shakest…

@NamebaseHQ I was trying the beacon browser, ok thanks I’ll keep at it!

UPDATE: Namebase has been acquired. New management is now in place. The exchange has been closed, all open orders cancelled, and funds returned to user accounts. The marketplace is open, and we will be making updates over the next couple months. Stay tuned for more news!! 🤝

@agenticweb You need to have a handshake resolver. #resolvers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sites.sh/#resolvers

@NamebaseHQ Seems not to be reachable, thank you though 😩
