So you make money when some registers a domain? What volume % do you expect?

Bingo, and when someone with Handshake TLDs wants to do the same but would rather not get a VPS, setup databases, &c.

Initially, I expect volume to modest. The Handshake community will be the early adopters/speculators. Once the registrar gains features like a website builder and one-click install integrations (Wordpress, Gatsby, whatever), I'm going to reach out to creatives I admire to see what they can do.

I don't expect to set the world on fire or make millions within some short timeframe. My main goal is to empower people to build dope shit they wouldn't otherwise be able to build on traditional domains.

Slow and steady focus/growth.
