Centralized Registrars Are Shutting Down.

Namebase and Namecheap have ended support for Handshake domains. Handshake Wallet provides the ultimate self-custodial fallback, preserving your ownership and giving you more power than ever before.

Feature Centralized Custody (Namebase/Namecheap) Handshake Wallet (Self-Custody)
Domain Ownership Custodial (Your domains are in their wallet) True Self-Custody (You own the private keys)
DNS Record Editing Dependent on centralized nameservers Local DNS Records (`NS`, `DS`, `TXT`, `GLUE`)
Domain Renewals Manual, slow, and prone to batch failures Pre-filtered Bulk Renewals (Up to 600 domains/block)
Transaction Fees Fixed high fees set by custodian Smart Fee Speed Selector (Eco, Standard, Priority)
Hardware Security None (Web login credentials only) Ledger Hardware Wallet Integration
Infrastructure Centralized API servers Integrated `hsd` Full Node / Custom RPC Toggles

Fully Featured. Powered by Handshake.

Combining the ease of Namebase with the technical capabilities of Bob Wallet. Built for scale, security, and absolute sovereignty.

Sovereign Self-Custody

Your keys, your domains. Secure your assets with a standard BIP39 12/24-word seed phrase. Fully compatible with hardware wallets like Ledger for offline security.

Advanced Domain Manager

Designed for portfolio managers. Search, filter, sort, and paginate through thousands of TLDs. Easily export your domain registry lists as a CSV in seconds.

On-Chain Vickrey Auctions

Participate in the decentralized auction system. Open bids, securely reveal them, and claim your winning names directly from the clean, intuitive graphical interface.

Local DNS Record Editor

Configure `NS`, `DS`, `TXT`, and `GLUE` records directly. Broadcast your DNS updates securely to the Handshake blockchain without relying on middleman servers.

Full Node vs. Light Client

Choose your level of decentralization. Run the integrated `hsd` full node for complete local validation and maximum privacy, or toggle to SPV light client mode for instant sync.

Developer Airdrop Claims

Easily claim your open-source developer airdrops. The wallet securely parses your PGP/GitHub credentials locally, letting you claim your HNS rewards in a few clicks.

FEE & COST OPTIMIZER

Save Money on Every Transaction

Unlike centralized platforms that charge flat, inflated rates, Handshake Wallet gives you granular control over your network fees. Manage large portfolios efficiently and never pay more than necessary.

Eco (Slow)

Smart Fee Speed Selector

Choose between Slow (Eco), Medium (Standard), and Fast (Priority). Use Eco mode for non-urgent renewals and let them settle at rock-bottom fee rates, saving up to 80% on transaction fees.

Bulk

High-Performance Bulk Renewals

Batch up to 600 domain renewals or transfers into a single block. Incur only one base transaction fee, dramatically reducing the overhead costs compared to renewing domains individually.

Safe

Pre-Filtered Renewal Queue

The wallet automatically filters out domains in locked or non-renewable states (e.g. Shakedex `TRANSFER` lockups) before broadcasting. No more wasted gas/network fees on failed batch transactions.

Cryptographic Integrity. Zero Trust.

Because we are a non-custodial wallet, security is paramount. Always verify the integrity of your downloaded binaries before running them.

1

Download Signatures

2

Verify PGP Signature

Verify that the signature file is signed by a trusted key listed in our security policy (e.g., via Keybase or local GPG tools).

3

Verify Hash Matches

Generate a SHA256 hash of your downloaded installer and ensure it matches the verified hash listed in the `SHA256SUMS.asc` file.

# 1. Verify the PGP signature of the checksum file
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc

# 2. Compute the SHA256 hash of the AppImage
sha256sum hns-wallet-2.1.6.AppImage

# 3. Confirm it matches the hash inside SHA256SUMS.asc
grep hns-wallet-2.1.6.AppImage SHA256SUMS.asc
# 1. Verify the PGP signature of the checksum file
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc

# 2. Compute the SHA256 hash of the DMG (Intel / Apple Silicon)
shasum -a 256 hns-wallet-2.1.6-x86.dmg
shasum -a 256 hns-wallet-2.1.6-arm64.dmg

# 3. Confirm it matches the hash inside SHA256SUMS.asc
grep hns-wallet-2.1.6-arm64.dmg SHA256SUMS.asc
# 1. Verify the PGP signature (using GnuPG in PowerShell)
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc

# 2. Compute the SHA256 hash of the MSI Installer
certUtil -hashfile hns-wallet-2.1.6.msi SHA256

# 3. Verify it matches the corresponding hash in SHA256SUMS.asc
