Description

Handshake is a pioneering peer-to-peer naming protocol that operates in a decentralized and permissionless manner, empowering each participant to validate and oversee the root DNS naming zone, thereby presenting an alternative to traditional certificate authorities and naming frameworks. In the current landscape, internet names such as top-level domains and social media handles depend heavily on centralized entities that exercise complete control over a system trusted to be reliable, which inherently poses risks of hacking, censorship, and corruption. By introducing innovative methods, Handshake strives to enhance the internet's security, resilience, and societal value through a network validated by its users, representing a significant shift from centralization to a more distributed structure. This initiative not only addresses the shortcomings of the centralized internet services that have dominated since the 1990s but also seeks to revive the original vision of a decentralized internet, where control is distributed among its users rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. Ultimately, Handshake serves as a vital experiment in shaping the future of internet governance and user autonomy.

Description

A Starname serves as a unique identifier that you can adopt in the blockchain ecosystem, functioning as your universal username. This versatile name not only allows you to receive cryptocurrencies but also helps you manage digital assets through your Starname profile, facilitating quick, simple, and economical transactions using blockchain technology. The basic version of Starname is available for free if you sign up with a Gmail account, but you also have the option to register a basic domain for a fee of 1.4 IOV. These fees play a crucial role in supporting the efforts of validators and Starname advocates who contribute to maintaining the decentralization of the service. An open domain grants you complete ownership, ensuring that it cannot be altered or controlled by anyone other than the owner, such as the example "thewizard*iov," which remains unchangeable despite its association with IOV. The primary revenue for the blockchain comes from the sale and renewal of Starnames, with the earnings being distributed among delegators and validators. Furthermore, these product fees enable the Starname (IOV) blockchain to achieve a sustainable model with zero inflation. By utilizing a Starname, users are not only enhancing their digital identity but also contributing to a decentralized financial ecosystem.
