Contest Brief

Handshake is a decentralized blockchain built to expand the domain name space. Currently there are only ~1500 top-level domains — these are often called "domain extensions" e.g. .com, .net, .org — which are all controlled by ICANN. Handshake makes it possible for anybody to get a top-level domain, which can be your name, symbols, foreign characters, and even emojis. Yes, imagine an emoji domain — that's made possible by Handshake. Ownership is for life, which means no more yearly rental fees for your domains.

You can get caught up on Handshake with this article, it should be a 2-minute read: https://medium.com/@jaywuzer/why-are-we-still-renting-domains-eefd45a4de1c. handshaketlds.com is also a good starting point.

Take the internet away from monopolies, and bring it back to the people.

If interested, you're welcome to pick a time that works best for you to chat at calendar.johnnywu/ — that's a Handshake domain so you'll want to use HNS.to to get to it.

Looking forward to directing Handshake with you.
