> Handshake TLDs need to be renewed every two years or the names go back up for auction. Renewals must include a recent block hash to prove that the name owner is still active and has _recently_ signed the renewal transaction.

Can't this just be automated?

Yes! Another comment mentioned that you’ll need to keep keys online to do this, which is not completely true. You can also create a key that can only be used renew your names that’s separate from your master key.
