What Is the Most Free TLD?

I thought the real red pill was Handshake (HNS).

You're not buying domains but instead are buying the TLD itself and then create domains on the TLD.

I haven't read up on it that much but their pitch of "stop renting the thing in front of the TLD, own the actual TLD" is pretty cool.

Yeah, that's what ENS is too. You're not actually registering .eth when you register an ENS. The .eth is intended to be one of many possible TLDs, with the only distinction that .eth is the default one when you first get it.

ENS has way more adoption and 3rd party support. I think it's our only hope of overthrowing the incumbents (existing centralized DNS system)
