Yes, this is also the only nft use case I've been able to understand so far.

I'm a fan of Handshake [0]. The project raised ten million of venture capital money and gave it away to free software developers [1].

It's an attempt at a decentralised DNS root zone, a replacement for icann. It would also obsolete certificate authorities: certificates would be guaranteed by the blockchain, under direct control of the respective domain owners.

I’m curious about handshake vs ens. The thing I like about ens is that it’s on ethereum which should make it harder to 51% than handshake (which is a relatively small PoW chain iirc). Of course with ethereum you need to pay gas fees which are out of this world (I paid $55 gas for my ens name). I’m hopeful that in the coming years ens will be able to reduce fees by partially transitioning to an L2 once zk-L2s mature, but we’ll see
