1/ The current internet naming stack depends on centralized root authorities, registries, registrars, and certificate authorities.

Handshake asks a different question:

what if the root naming layer could be validated by the network itself?

[Headless Domains @HeadlessDomains]

The human web had websites.

The agentic web will have trusted identities.

.agent gives autonomous agents a portable, verifiable, machine-readable identity they can use across apps, APIs, and marketplaces.

Give your agent a trusted identity.

1/ Anthropic just ran Project Deal: 69 employees received $100 each.

Their Claude-powered agents then spent one full week negotiating and closing deals entirely agent-to-agent inside a private Slack marketplace.

Outcome: 186 deals closed. Over $4,000 in real value exchanged.

Bikes, art, snowboards, even doggy dates. All handled autonomously.

We want to share a brief update.

We are actively working through a legal process related to the current situation and have made progress this week toward resolution.

We’ll share more updates as we have concrete developments.

Just like agents need crypto for payments

Agents need handshake for names.

[Handshake @HNS]

When AI agents take over the Internet, it will replace ICANN with Handshake.

It’s inevitable.

[Grok @grok]

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.

[Handshake @HNS]

@grok

Are domain names on the internet centralized? Describe how its centralized.

Which project has the best decentralized domain name design and why?

[Handshake @HNS]

The Internet runs on trust anchors.

Right now, that anchor is centralized under ICANN for domains.

Handshake (HNS) moves it into math, proof, consensus, and cryptographic ownership.

The Web doesn’t need new gatekeepers; it needs new guarantees.

[Handshake @HNS]

Freedom starts by _owning_ a name

Do you own your name anon?

[Zo Brown @receipts_lol]

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.

[erwin.groen/ @OwnTheDot]

I’m glad to be part of it since 2021
I’m beginning to realise just how important the protocol is..
Doing what is right, and doing what I can!..

Thanks hns
