A Starname is a name you can use. It can be your universal username for the blockchain world. A Starname enables you to receive crypto-currencies, keep digital assets in an easily accessible manner with your Starname profile, and transfer value in a fast, easy, and cost-effective way with blockchain technology. The Starname basic edition is free with a Gmail login. Alternatively, you can register a basic domain for 1,4 IOV. The fees support the work done by validators and Starname promoters helping to keep the service decentralized. An open domain is a name that you are the owner and it can't be suppressed or modified. thewizard*iov is an example of an open domain, we can say it derives from iov, but it can't be modified or managed by anyone else except the owner of thewizard*iov. Starnames sales and renewals are the main blockchain revenue, which is distributed to delegators and validators. The product fees are what allow the Starname (IOV) blockchain to revert to 0% inflation.

An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system. 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 is 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 that 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.
