What is Handshake (HNS)?
Source description
“Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol where every peer is validating and in charge of managing the root DNS naming zone with the goal of creating an alternative to existing Certificate Authorities and naming systems. Names on the internet (top level domains, social networking handles, etc.) ultimately rely upon centralized actors with full control over a system which are relied upon to be honest, as they are vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. Handshake aims to experiment with new ways the internet can be more secure, resilient, and socially useful with a peer-to-peer system validated by the network's participants. Handshake is an experiment which seeks to explore those new ways in which the necessary tools to build a more decentralized internet. Services on the internet have become more centralized beginning in the 1990s, but do not fulfill the original decentralized vision of the internet. Email became Gmail, usenet became reddit, blog replies became facebook and Medium, pingbacks became twitter, squid became Cloudflare, even gnutella became The Pirate Bay. Centralization exists because there is a need to manage spam, griefing, and sockpuppet/sybil attacks. Previous decentralized systems largely stopped working due to spam. If it were more costly to grief on the internet using decentralized systems, the need for trusted centralized corporations to manage these risks decrease. Internet services and platforms may benefit from building on top of a decentralized system which is specifically designed for resilience against sybil attacks. As we may redecentralize.”

Handshake metric comparison
This comparison is a stored snapshot generated 2026-10-23 06:30 UTC from 293 daily observations available from 2025-12-30 through 2026-10-23. It is separate from the latest analytical cards above. Percentiles compare the snapshot value with that day's analytical universe; a higher percentile means a larger observed value, not necessarily a better investment characteristic.

YearBull Rank is an internal ordering on YearBull that positions a coin relative to the rest of the tracked universe. It is best read as relative context across time windows, not as a guarantee.
Downside posture: consistency often matters more than speed.
Flow read: a quiet tape can still re-rank the pack.
Venue read: a tightened venue set can reduce variance or increase it.
Market phase: recent movement can fit a transition rather than a clean trend.
Practical note: treat the line as positioning context over time.
