Episode 132: Handshake Protocol with Mark Tyneway

In this episode, we chat with Mark Tyneway (https://github.com/Tynes) who is a contributor on the Handshake (https://handshake.org/) project - an experimental peer-to-peer root naming system. We learn about this decentralised, foundation-free project, the issues of DNS, how Handshake plans on fixing this, how it differs from ENS, their unique airdrop process, what an Urkel Trie is, and more.
