domains Opera to integrate Handshake domains

[Lox]

Opera announcing a partnership with the dWeb Foundation over an integration of the decentralized blockchain domain name system, Handshake. Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming system that disintermediates the old guard of Certificate Authorities operating in the traditional DNS namespace hierarchy by providing a more advanced, secure, open, and accountable network. The integration will go live in the first half of 2022.

This partnership is the latest step in our mission to make crypto and web3 more mainstream by providing our users with maximum choice through access to the greatest number of blockchains and protocols. Through its products, Opera is pursuing its goal of providing the best user experience and onboarding to web3.

Although handshake is just experimental for now, if it’s hits mainstream, it can create havoc provided they are integrated with widely used browsers like brave and Firefox which are both open-source . A typical 4 letter domain say for example bruf.com won’t need the .com extension anymore. So it’s just bruf you type in the browser and it takes you to the homepage of bruf handshake domain not bruf.com… even .com will be rivaled

We've seen and tested/used this a long time before... 25 years back.
AlterNic, FCN, RealNames, NetName, WTVNet, oRSC etc.
Unstoppable and such, they may just love the idea of being "inventors" ...
For example, 2 decade before .brand, Wired magazine had .wired powered by AlterNic.

Do you mean these are all Handshake like projects that (didn’t) succeed? just curious.

Yes. f.e. 21 y ago (y 2000) - Microsoft Acquires 20% Stake Of RealNames (inc 1996) & 2 y later, the RealNames Is Shutting Down

I think there is a difference between what happened in the 90s and now. Now it’s decentralized so it’s not a profit motive venture but a community led endorsement and development. Handshake is up against ICAAN and decentralize the root DNS is what handshake is going for.

Sorry,

but handshake is not what used to be... or has been before.

Please watch "Handshake will eat top level domains" on youtube.
