Why Relaunch Now?

Handshake was built to decentralize the root zone. The technology still matters, but the community needs a clearer path back into action.

Use The Names

More people should be able to browse, host, resolve, and explain real Handshake names without needing a perfect setup.

  • + Gateway and native browser paths
  • + Owner-friendly hosting guides
  • + Better education for newcomers

Make Builders Visible

The relaunch should show what is being built, what needs help, and where serious contributors can plug in.

  • + Wallets, markets, browsers, docs
  • + Small, useful tasks over vague hype
  • + Public roadmaps and handoffs

Coordinate Honestly

Proposals, upgrades, and hard forks need visible support and visible objections before anyone claims momentum.

  • + Holder and builder signals
  • + Node and miner readiness
  • + Non-binding, public dashboards

The relaunch is not a new foundation and not a fork authority. It is a coordination point for people who still believe Handshake can become useful again.

First Relaunch Event: Community Open Call

We are hosting a live X Spaces conversation about holding Handshake together through a hard moment, staying aligned as a community, and giving people a simple place to show up before the vote tooling is ready.

You do not need to be technical or a programmer. If you care about Handshake and want it to succeed, you should join.

If you cannot attend live, you can still leave a curated public message on the support wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Handshake.best a foundation or official governance body?
No. It is a community campaign site. It can organize information and public signals, but it does not control Handshake consensus, node software, miners, wallets, exchanges, or users.
What does relaunch mean?
Relaunch means making Handshake useful and visible again: better wallets, browsing, hosting, docs, marketplaces, miner support, and clearer coordination around proposals.
Can miners vote on hard forks?
Miners can signal readiness or intent, but a miner signal is not binding governance by itself. Hard forks need broader social and economic consensus across nodes, wallets, services, miners, holders, and users.
What should public signals be used for?
Signals should make support, objections, implementation risk, and upgrade readiness visible. They should guide discussion, not pretend to replace consensus.
