- Namebase has launched a dedicated registrar service for Handshake subdomains across all staked TLDs.
- Users can now register and renew subdomains using HNS cryptocurrency for the first time.
- Subdomain registrations carry a minimal $1 markup according to the company announcement.
- The platform provides dedicated search pages for each top-level domain to help users find available subdomains.
- Domain owners can now stake their TLDs with confidence knowing a registrar service is available.
Namebase announced the launch of its dedicated registrar service, allowing users to register Handshake subdomains directly through the platform.
The Namebase Registrar enables subdomain registration across all staked top-level domains (TLDs) within the Handshake network, according to a company announcement sent to users.
The new service addresses a key gap in the Handshake ecosystem by providing a streamlined registration process for subdomains. Previously, TLD owners who staked their domains with registries faced uncertainty about whether registrar services would become available for their domains.
HNS Currency Integration for Domain Purchases
The registrar service introduces HNS cryptocurrency as a payment method for domain registration and renewal. This marks the first time users can directly use HNS tokens to register and renew subdomains, adding practical utility to the Handshake native currency.
According to the announcement, Namebase will apply only a $1 markup to Handshake subdomain registrations, positioning the service as a low-cost option for users seeking decentralized domain names.
The pricing structure aims to make subdomain registration accessible while maintaining the economic benefits of the Handshake protocol.

Dedicated Search Infrastructure
The platform has implemented dedicated search pages for individual TLDs, allowing users to explore available subdomains under specific top-level domains. These search tools help users identify registration opportunities and make the discovery process more efficient for potential domain buyers.
The search functionality covers all staked TLDs within the Namebase registry system. Each TLD receives its own search interface, enabling targeted exploration of subdomain availability under specific top-level domains.
Reduced Staking Risk for TLD Owners
The registrar launch addresses previous concerns among TLD owners about the viability of staking their domains. According to the company, domain owners previously faced uncertainty about whether registrar services would support their staked TLDs.
With the Namebase Registrar now operational, TLD owners can stake their domains with greater confidence, knowing that registration services are available for their subdomains. This development may encourage more domain owners to participate in the staking process within the Handshake ecosystem.

Handshake Protocol Adoption
The registrar launch represents a significant development for the Handshake protocol, which operates as a decentralized alternative to traditional domain name systems. Handshake uses blockchain technology to manage domain ownership and resolution without relying on centralized authorities.
The protocol allows users to own top-level domains outright rather than leasing them from traditional registries. Domain owners can then create subdomains and manage their own namespace within their TLD.
