Your keys. Your names.
Today we're launching Namebase Wallet — a new self-custody home for Handshake.
Hold your HNS.
Hold your TLDs.
Participate in auctions.
Manage on-chain DNS.
And for the first time...
Resolve Handshake names directly from your wallet.
Under the hood, it's powered by our new node, built for much faster synchronization with much less storage.

Today marks a new chapter for Namebase.
We've evolved into a non-custodial registry and registrar for decentralized domains.
With the new platform you can now:
• 🌐 Register domains on Handshake TLDs
• 🏷️ List and operate your own Handshake TLD
• 💲 Set your own pricing and price rules
• ⭐ Create premium and reserved names
• 🔑 Receive payments directly to your own wallet
• 📊 Manage your registry through a simple dashboard
• 📤 Withdraw your "staked" Handshake TLDs or migrate them to the new platform
We look forward to quickly adding new features, new options, additional protocols, and upgraded infrastructure as requested by the community.
NOTE: If you previously purchased SLDs through one of our partner registrars (PorkBun, Namecheap, 101, Encrica, HNSID, etc)... support for claiming those domains into your Namebase account is coming soon.
REMINDER: Namebase no longer provides custody services. If you still hold assets on the old Namebase, withdraw your assets (HNS, BTC, and TLDs) from https://t.co/FVtx8KMMbM before October 1st, 2026.
G'day everyone,
Just a reminder that for people owning/using domains in everyone can renew addresses that you need to renew your domain every 2 years. You can do this using the hs-everyone cli tool or for a 10 HNS fee at https://t.co/Ht7S0JMRXA
$HNS
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!! 🤝
@RedBall@NamebaseHQ Answer is the same: speculation
Some people believe they will be able to re-sell their names at higher prices and will incur higher fees
Same reason why people pay more money for .io or .ai domains now
