Owning a plot of land (a top-level domain) on the internet should be open and easy. Handshake aims to pave the way toward that vision, you can start to explore by using Namebase , Shakestation or Bob wallet .
One of the best explorers of the Handshake DNS is https://shakeshift.com. There you can explore names, records and much more.

GM devs. There has been a request from the #Handshake community for help with a Windows related issue and HNSD. If you have experience/expertise working with Windows, please see. There is a bounty. It’s a final piece for a Brave/Chromium PR.
Bob Wallet allows self-custody of domains, highly recommended. But custodial options are also available:
If you want to explore the Handshake DNS root zone, the best wallet is Bob Wallet: https://github.com/kyokan/bob-wallet/releases/tag/v2.1.0
With Bob you can own names, participate in auctions and set records. Stop renting domains, own them.
Names are the most valuable assets on the internet, but we don’t own

entities who control the namespaces and take that control away from you.
