experimental, permissionless, decentralized

Handshake is an experimental and permissionless naming protocol that uses blockchain technology to create a decentralized root zone, as opposed to a centralized root zone regulated by ICANN. You can read more about the Handshake protocol at handshake.org

Because Handshake domain names do not use the same root zone as other domains on the internet they do not currently resolve like normal domains, they require special browser plugins or network configurations. Furthermore, Porkbun services such as email and SSL certificate generation don't work on Handshake domains. You can read more about how to access Handshake domains here. You can also try out Beacon or Aloha, browsers that support Handshake domains.
