Rithvik takes us through Bob Wallet, Handshake’s premiere non-custodial wallet option. You will learn how to operate Bob Wallet’s features like bidding, DNS management, and name management, taking you one step closer to being a Handshake super user.

Shakedex is Handshake’s first DEX that allows users to buy and sell Handshake TLDs trustlessly. The anonymous founder Kurumiimari takes us through how it works and why it matters.

In this panel, speakers will share their thoughts on the bigger picture that DWeb paints, and why this technology is critical especially in times of rampant deplatforming and censorship

Review the existing options for resolving websites and their pros and cons, plus explore the next evolution for end users to have easy, but secure access to Web3.

Co-hosted by Robert Raichici, Founder of Shakestats, and Colin Burke of BlockDomains/, they will be covering what many of us love: the data and trends in Handshake TLDs. How many bids, how many sales, and what is hot or not? Where are the future trends of naming and this protocol? By the end of this session, you’ll have your head swimming with data and ideas.

Luke Burns takes us through HIP-5, Hyperzones, and decentralized SLDs.

Paul Webb is going to walk us through how to make the most of your TLD and other considerations.

In this more technical overview of Bob Wallet, developers can learn how to claim their Handshake airdrop, reserve names on Handshake, and how anyone can set up address aliases and send/receive HNS with their domain name.

HandyHost is an application built by HandyOSS. The software utilizes a GUI interface that makes it super easy to deploy nodes and offer hosting services for Sentinel, Akash, and SIA. Sentinel nodes also allow connected users to resolve any Handshake TLD/SLD on the go. We'll be going in depth on how it all works for the end-user, and how they can use it to make a profit with an at home computer while maintaining very low electricity costs and resources.

The Handshake community is one with the world in supporting Ukraine, especially the Handshake community members there who are greatly affected by this armed conflict. This Flamingo Handshake auction is dedicated to help the community in this cause.

A talk about why we shouldn't use Namebase and Siasky. Why we should switch from gateways like hns.to/hns.is to lite HNS clients as soon as possible. Know the advantages of raising own nameservers for your HNS site or using HyperZone.

Falci takes us through his DNS management solution Sinpapeles and how to utilize it to supercharge your domains.

Andrew Rosener will talk about trends and comparisons he is seeing in domain sales in Web2 and the current domain space, to what he has noticed in the Web3/NFT space.

Having domains on the Blockchain means that they have more uses than their Web2 counterparts. In this session, Jordan showcases one of these novel use cases with HNSchat which allows you to use your Handshake name as a username and talk with other Handshake users with end-to-end encryption.

During this time, some of the Handshake community's most OG domainers will discuss what it would take to bring traditional domainers into Handshake and embrace the DWeb.

Have you ever had a question for the founders of Handshake? Well now's your time to get it off your chest and ask. The audience can bring up questions and ask for opinions in this Q&A session.

On Handshake's website it describes the protocol as "An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system". Being an experimental protocol means that there are many potential bumps in the road that the community will have to overcome. In this panel we'll discuss some of these bumps and potential solutions for these problems.

Mike Carson, Co-Founder of Park.io & Impervious, will do a session sharing about the amazing products they have contributed to the HNS community. This includes Beacon Browser and Fingertip, as well as more insights on how to utilize these for even more ease of use in the ecosystem.

Here you can learn how you can bridge your Handshake TLD to Ethereum, Polygon, and more blockchains.

As a smart name registry system one of the primary things we think about are use cases. The more use cases out there the more we can expect the HNS to percolate into society. There are some things being done to create awareness and possibly build some use cases.

The most popular way to interact with Web3 and crypto today is through the web browser. This comes with a fundamental limitation: the web browser inherently trusts the server to serve correct code. Even if a webpage includes cryptography, that cryptography itself is coming from a trusted server. David will be introducing and talking about the Skynet Kernel, a new browser extension that allows users across all Web3 ecosystems to interact with Web3 trustlessly within their own browser. The Skynet Kernel includes support for HNS webpages and HNS applications.

An overview of Akash, Web3, decentralized computing, and why it matters. We’ll also talk about how to get involved in Web3, decentralized & multi-sided computing marketplaces, applications running on the decentralized cloud, and what lies ahead.

A panel discussing the future of hardware and how it can be integrated to the decentralized web.

A general talk about the future of decentralized search and its necessity, as well as a presentation on the current state of HNSSearch and future developments.

What started as a scoring and rating system on Handshake has expanded to a full block explorer, portfolio tool, and more. 0xStephan talkes us through these changes as well as showcases logging in with Handshake names.

SLDs don't sell themselves, so marketing and branding can be the difference between a successful TLD and one that blends into the millions of other TLDs out there. In this panel, speakers talk about the strategies they've used to successfully market their TLD and helped them turn their TLDs into a full on business generating passive income.

We will discuss some exciting Handshake applications and protocol improvements that at this time are merely theoretical discussions in developer chats. If you are an investor or developer looking for a project idea, this will be a good time to learn about things that are possible with Handshake but have never been tried. We will explore decentralized subdomains, lightweight resolver designs, and complex transaction scripting that can add serious power to the self-custodial user.

Decentralized backends are not enough to create a secure and accessible Web3. In this talk, we look at some of the risks involved in centralized frontends before addressing how decentralized storage protocols and decentralized domains can help. We explore how these work at a high-level, before asking "is this enough?" as a way to briefly showcase Skynet's Homescreen, which adds another level of security for decentralized web apps, allowing users to own versioned copies of their favorites apps in their personal cloud storage.

Hillan Klein, COO of Namecheap, will make a guest appearance to share some context behind Namecheap's involvement with Handshake. Namebase will then present their plans for 2022, share demos of some of their upcoming releases, and wrap up with Q&A.
