A weekly recap on the Handshake protocol and ecosystem

Community / Tech / Stats

Forever Domains The Impervious team has helped implement a new breed of decentralized names that leverage Handshake top level domains and Ethereum subdomains. .Forever is a top-level domain in the Handshake root zone. It has no owner (there is no private key) and it will permanently delegate DNS authority to a nameserver running on Ethereum. These domains can be trustlessly resolved using the fingertip light client. And you can see listed subdomains on the NFT marketplace OpenSea.

Neunet A new Handshake registry is in the works and, leading by example, will emphasize resolution of its name on Handshake.

Neuenet/ @neuenet

When we are live, our ICANN domain will be de-emphasized and only used to direct folks to an SLD at our Handshake name: registry.neuenet. We believe in the protocol and are fully invested in its eventual assured success.
