* [https://handshake.org Handshake]: A DNS-backwards compatible naming protocol. It adds a distributed, decentralized blockchain-based system to the root zone file where TLD ownership information is stored. No one controls it and anyone can use it, allowing for a root zone that is uncensorable, permissionless, and free of gatekeepers. Every peer in the Handshake network [[Cryptography|cryptographically]] validates and manages the root zone, eliminating the need for the Certificate Authority system.<ref>[https://learn.namebase.io/about-handshake/about-handshake About Handshake, Namebase]</ref> | * [https://handshake.org Handshake]: A DNS-backwards compatible naming protocol.
