The independent hub for Handshake.
LearnHNS is where you go to understand Handshake — the naming protocol that puts top-level domains on a blockchain. Guides, wallets, docs, and the community map. No foundation. No token pitch. The stuff you need to own a name.
Handshake puts the internet’s root zone on a chain so a top-level name is property you hold, not a lease you renew. That’s the whole pitch. The hard part has always been the on-ramp: wallets that stall, docs that 404, and newcomers who get pointed at a dead helper URL.
LearnHNS exists to close that gap. We curate the working tools, preserve the writing that still matters, and maintain the 2026 Bob Wallet fork so people can actually open a name they own.
The site is maintained by SkyInclude. We are not affiliated with Handshake Foundation.
This site
Guides, a docs archive, a services directory, and a start-here path for people who have never heard of Handshake.
Start learning →Bob LearnHNS
The 2026 fork of Bob Wallet — names, auctions, and the SPV helper that still actually resolves.
Download the wallet →Docs archive
When Namebase shut down in June 2026, the learning center went with it. We mirrored it here and keep the current tooling pointed at the right places.
Browse the archive →Market & hosting
ShakeDex via market.learnhns.com, plus Host.limo, Handout, and Pinner so a name can actually serve a site.

Not Handshake Foundation. Not a registrar. We write the maps, maintain the wallets, and keep the lights on when other docs go dark.
Self-custody first
Seed phrases stay on your device. We will never ask you to paste one into a chat, a form, or a “support agent.”
Built in public
Edits to the community map happen on GitHub. Feedback lands in Telegram. If something is wrong, say so — we’ll fix the page.
Head in profile. Handshake H in mind.
People kept asking for a high-res zip of the logo. The old files were a 318px PNG and an auto-traced “SVG” that ballooned to a megabyte. We redrew the same mark as real vectors — even stroke, official Handshake H inside the skull — and packed SVG plus PNG up to 4096px.
Use SVG when you can. Don’t stretch it, don’t add a drop shadow,
don’t recolor the H to a random palette. White on dark, black on
light. Violet #693AFA is optional for the whole mark.
