I initiated a transfer of one domain last night as a test and its status is still "Queued" is this normal after 6hr? Has Namebase at least started the 2Day Domain transfer that the HNS blockchain requires? How would I see this? Thanks.

📣 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. 🤝

Bye bye namebase !! 👋 Thanks all you have done with handshake.

Are namebase dead ? So it's our last chance to take everything out from the website ?

Handshake Ecosystem Update 👀 🗓️June 2026 :ViaBTC just shut down its HNS mining pool (~50% of the hashrate) 🤔Namebase is fully winding down , but successfully returned all user coins and names The good news ! The core Handshake protocol is still fully operational with zero downtime😏. ✅Development continues on HNS records, wallets, browser extensions, and decentralized tools. 🪴This moment might actually push the ecosystem toward greater decentralization and more community-driven solutions🪩 Full update video here: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 youtu.be/gi5wLWhxVp8What 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 Will this lead to stronger community projects and smaller pools? #Handshake #HNS #DecentralizedWeb #NFT

Well the last of my $hns just departed NameBase and with that, a little bit of history... I had a lot of fun learning how to open, bid, watch, until reveal.. Lots of coffee and alcohol was consumed trying to win names.. I genuinely had fun.. Now it’s onto the next chapter of handshakes evolution #NameBase | #Handshake | #OwnTheDot

I'm leaving my HNS names in the namebase pot, NFA Web3 put on hold?, Where and what is the culture? UD winding down on nfts favouring DNS boomer era tech and culture.... HNS public face, Namebase, doing same things as UD but without the DNS culture regression. .eth moving(moved?) chains, first interactions we paid for as users, did not garner enough for the fat Kiwi and co.? as voted by majority token holders, the council of Unholy 13 🤣 (still no refund from the unresolvable mints ENS allowed and profited from....) Is Freename still offering every name other chain name services do? .Sol seems to be consistently popular I thought Splinternet would come to DNS world and web3 would save those fallen thru, seems reverse now tho, crypto chains, culture, name systems are so fragmented or zombifiying back to Web2!?
