HSD is a full node implementation of the Handshake decentralized naming/cryptocurrency protocol, written in JavaScript for Node.js. It provides a blockchain daemon with a built-in wallet, bitcoind-style RPC and REST APIs, CLI tools, and an authoritative/recursive DNS resolver with optional native libunbound bindings.

Use cases

• run a handshake full node
• resolve handshake TLD domains locally with DNSSEC
• manage an HNS wallet from the command line
• mine Handshake with CPU or pool
• query blockchain data via RPC or REST API
• serve as an authoritative nameserver for handshake names

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted Handshake node with wallet and DNS resolution
• you want programmatic access to the Handshake chain via RPC/REST
• you want to run a recursive resolver that resolves Handshake TLDs

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight SPV wallet only without running a full node
• you want a GUI wallet rather than a daemon and CLI
• you work with a different blockchain than Handshake
