🧵Most people assume:
“If a Handshake name works in https://, that means it’s legit.”
But this is a misunderstanding of how the web works.
HTTPS was built inside the ICANN DNS world not for decentralized roots like Handshake.
Let’s break it down. 👇
Handshake Australia would like to acknowledge the builders/creators/founders of this protocol in help by celebrating 6 years of the Handshake protocol running…
Also a massive thanks for the backers/supporters/namers in believing in its future!
From me and the team at hnsAU..
Happy 6th birthday 🎊

RUSH + IPFS = Hassle-free Web Builder for $HNS TLD Owners
Build and go live in 1-2-3.
No need for NB or SS.
No nameserver changes.
A TXT record on-chain → your website is live.
Decentralized. Simple. Ownership-first.
Built for the $HNS - powered by @RushBrowser
Upcoming Release 2.3 – @RushBrowser
We may integrate the BOB wallet extension directly into Rush, since Chrome no longer supports it - bringing a full HNS wallet natively into the browser.
2.3 is currently in testing, and if all goes well, we may launch it asap.

Let’s break it down. 👇
hns:// gives Handshake what HTTPS never can:
Native verification
DANE trust without CAs
Zero name collision risk
Direct resolution without DNS hijacking
A protocol identity of its own
This is how Handshake becomes Handshake, not “alternative DNS inside ICANN’s rules.”
@bankrolls_eth @namehunter_eth It’s meaningful because open-sourcing builds trust in Web3 and invites more devs to contribute, improve features, and add ENS/HNS integrations.
