This is what happens when you hack the pentagon :P

📣 Namebase Update 📣 CURRENT STATUS of Namebase.io ✅ BTC withdrawals are LIVE ✅ HNS withdrawals are LIVE ✅ Transfers of unstaked names are available ⏳ Withdrawals of staked TLDs remain disabled As Namebase continues its wind-down process, we strongly encourage all users to withdraw their BTC, HNS, and transferable names at their earliest convenience. 🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨 NAMEBASE IS NO LONGER RENEWING OR AUTO-RENEWING NAMES. • Users are responsible for withdrawing or transferring names to a wallet, registrar, or service where future renewals can be managed. • All names are renewed as part of the withdrawal or transfer process. • If you intend to keep a name long-term, please make arrangements to transfer or withdraw it. • Names left on the platform will NOT be renewed by Namebase and may expire according to their expiration date. REGARDING STAKED TLDS: • Withdrawals of staked TLDs remain disabled while we finalize a registry solution for existing SLD holders. • Before enabling staked TLD withdrawals, we intend to have a registry solution in place to provide continuity for active SLD registrations and registry services. • ALL STAKED TLDS WILL BE RENEWED BY NAMEBASE. • Staked TLD owners do not need to take any action at this time. • Additional information regarding staked TLD withdrawals will be provided once the registry transition plan is finalized. REGARDING SLDS: • Any SLD that would have expired on or after January 1, 2025 has been placed into a grace period. • No action is required from SLD holders at this time. • The grace period will remain in effect until the new registry is launched. • All HNS ID SLD holders are included in this grace period and will be carried forward to the new registry. Namebase remains in the process of winding down operations. We will continue to share updates regarding the registry transition, SLDs, HNS ID, staked TLD withdrawals, and the remaining wind-down schedule as additional details become available. We strongly encourage users to withdraw BTC, HNS, and transferable names as soon as practical rather than waiting for future wind-down milestones. For individual assistance, please write sos@namebase.io. Thank you for your patience and continued support. 🤝

📢 New Namebase Update While we do not intend to continue operating a custodial platform, we believe we have found a path forward for Namebase as a non-custodial Handshake registry and infrastructure provider. To make that transition possible, Namebase will be taken offline in approximately 72 hours while we migrate data and infrastructure to a new architecture. When Namebase returns: ✅ BTC withdrawals will be available ✅ HNS withdrawals will be available ✅ Staked name withdrawals will be available ✅ Users will be able to opt into the new non-custodial Namebase Registry ✅ HNS ID will return as part of the broader Namebase Registry platform Expected Timeline: • BTC, HNS, and TLD (including staked) withdrawals/transfers should become back on line and available approximately 24 hours after shutdown. • The new non-custodial Namebase Registry will take a bit longer. We currently expect it to be available within 1–2 weeks, though we are optimistic it may be ready sooner. HNS ID, registry services, and domain infrastructure will come together under a unified non-custodial architecture designed to support the next chapter of the Handshake ecosystem. More details on withdrawals, registry participation, migrations, and timelines will be shared soon. Thank you for your patience and support. 🤝

Both are down for unrelated reasons. Namebase is waiting for Namecheap before it can reopen and shakestation had db corruption on our indexer db. It will take a few days to get to the current block height.

When you win an auction on #handshake, you get $HNS back which is the difference between your bid and the 2nd highest bid. @NamebaseHQ calls this "rebate" and @Shake_Station and the @HNS whitepaper call this "change". Which do you prefer?

What’s Happening! Starting February 1, Namebase will pause all user activity so we can migrate to a new entity and fully rebuilt and reconstructed system. This is a deliberate, planned migration to a new system that is designed to improve long-term security, reliability, functionality, and sustainability. Once this process begins: - User logins will be disabled - Auctions, bids, transfers, and withdrawals will be paused - The platform will be temporarily offline - This pause is required to safely complete the migration Timeline Start date: February 1, 2026 Expected downtime: 3–4 weeks Access during downtime - None (platform fully offline) - We will reopen only after the migration is complete and the system has been fully tested What Happens to Your Funds and Names Namebase is a custody platform. The safety of user assets is the top priority. - All funds and Handshake names remain secure throughout the migration - No action is required to keep assets safe - If you do nothing, everything will be available exactly as-is when Namebase reopens What You May Want to Do Before February 1 Withdrawals If you plan to use funds elsewhere during the downtime: - Withdraw funds before February 1 - Withdrawals will not be available once the migration begins Participating in Auctions During Downtime If you want to continue bidding or participating in Handshake auctions while Namebase is offline, you can do so via: Bobwallet.io Shakestation.io - To withdraw, you must move any funds or names before February 1. What’s Coming The new Namebase will have many new features the community has been asking for, including: - A secondary market for SLD buying and selling ☑️ - Secondary auctions for both TLDs and SLDs ☑️ These additions are part of a comprehensive overhaul and effort to make the new Namebase a more robust platform that is better suited for long-term growth in the Handshake ecosystem. Staying Informed: Updates will be shared through: - Email notifications - Dashboard messages - Discord and official status channels We’ll continue to communicate progress throughout the migration. This is a planned migration to a fully rebuilt platform, not a shutdown. The goal is to come back stronger, safer, and more capable than before. Thank you for your patience and trust. We look forward to welcoming you back once the migration is complete. — The new Namebase Team 🤝

Thanks @mercury!

Of course my only Tesla that got the holiday update is my piece of shit model 3 with a broken FSD computer and updates that don't download past 50% 😑

Passkey support is now available on ShakeStation. Go to your account page to set up passkeys and enjoy secure, passwordless login across all your devices.

Your UI is literally HTML dude LOL

Actually, it's because @RushBrowser uses jquery for their own UI and doesn't properly sandbox websites being loaded. It just puts websites into a div, instead of a proper webview or iframe which causes an error loading jquery when it's already loaded. Don't trust vibe coders.

I highly recommend using any other way of resolving handshake domains and not @RushBrowser. Rush doesn't load JavaScript properly, doesn't use the public suffix list, and insists they are right because their "dev" (ChatGPT) says they are.

Igloo seems to be unavailable in the @apple @AppStore due to saying our developer account expired even though it was paid for and renewed well over a month ago. We've contacted developer support via email but we aren't expecting a response until Monday.

Fun fact, this was the first TLD ever opened, bid on and won on @Shake_Station during development.

We now use our own page to view on-chain transactions for both $HNS and $BTC.
