Directors
While anyone can be a "Director of Handshake", we ask Namers in the Namer Community to reserve calling themselves Directors until they've already taken the lead on growing Handshake.
Outreach
Become a Director by spreading the word about Handshake!
Namebase team members are currently focused on organizations in the following categories and you can help by recommending ones that may be a good fit:
- Integrations — Decentralization projects, website builders, VPNs, alternative web browsers, domain registrars, coin exchanges, websites in danger of censorship etc.
- Awareness — Podcasts, journalists, web developers and designers, PR firms, blockchain clubs and communities, influencers, etc.
Onboarding an entire community at once is perhaps the single best way to grow awareness. Communities to focus outreach for are typically ones interested in:
- Web development: Handshake enables dotless domains and unlimited free subdomains, you own the entire domain
- Decentralization, dWeb, Web 3.0: Handshake names live on a decentralized blockchain not controlled by anybody
- Censorship-resistance, privacy: Handshake names are uncensorable and private
- NFTs: Handshake names are NFTs with cash flows
- Digital identity, DApp: Handshake names are decentralized, persistent, cryptographically verifiable, and resolvable
- DNS, internet security: Handshake replaces Certificate Authorities by shifting the root of trust to its blockchain
- Blockchain: Handshake is a blockchain protocol
- Open source: Handshake is open source, donated $10.2M to the FOSS community, and has airdrops for ~200k individual open source contributors
- Domainer: Handshake names are top-level domains that you can flip or sell subdomains off of
- Crypto, DeFi: Handshake coins of winning bids are burned, which creates deflationary effects on the price of HNS
- JavaScript: Handshake's source code is written in JavaScript
- Communities you're already a part of: Get them their name!
