Too good to be true? This industry heavyweight just adopted Handshake

You can now buy Handshake domains on Epik.com

One of the top 100 domain registrars in the world just integrated with the Namebase Registry to offer Handshake domains to their customers. This marks the third ICANN accredited domain registrar to support Handshake domains — the first two are 101domain.com and encirca.com. More registrar adoption establishes greater legitimacy for Handshake as it decentralizes the $100B DNS industry. It also gives Handshake TLD owners greater monetization options. If you’re a TLD owner, stake your name in the Namebase Registry to sell your own domains through Gateway.io, 101domain.com, Encirca.com, and now, Epik.com
