What Bitcoin is for the monetary system, Handshake is for the internet. These are the first domain names which are completely decentralised, uncensorable, and give everyone an opportunity to truly own their online identity. It is our belief that everyone will eventually own a Handshake name, whether they know it or not. These auctions are a great opportunity for any keen buyer to find the most premium, sought after TLD’s. Don’t miss out.

Why are Handshake names so valuable?

The auction will be held on Shakestats Discord server, under the “Auction” section. To join, please click this link: https://discord.com/invite/hrCh6q9ezB

Where will the auction be held?

If you are busy at the time of the auction, but still wish to bid, you can apply for one of our staff to bid on your behalf. To apply for this, you must submit the “proxy form”. 

What if I cannot be there to bid at the specified auction time?

No. If you would like to bid by proxy, you are only required to submit the proxy form. 

If I want to bid by proxy, am I still required to submit the bidders form?

When selecting names, we look at 3 main factors: <br /> - Overall utility of a particular name, whether it is for identity or website purposes <br /> - Current market demand, looking at the bidding volume and prices of comparables on the primary market <br />  - The reserve price: We ensure that the reserve is low enough to ensure that it will sell. The lower the reserve you set, the higher likelihood that it will sell. This is observed in the context of the above two criterions.

About


## Format

The auctioneer will open bidding and set bid increments based on the estimated value of the domain. Increments may be reduced at auctioneers’ discretion as the high bid amount increases.

The reserve will remain as it is intended to be, a price point that must be met through bidding for a sale to be made.

Each bid will have to meet the required increment level specified for that particular name.

If there is a period where no one else is bidding, we will say the following: 

Going once, going twice, (Some more commentary about name), last and final call, SOLD.

When we say SOLD, you can no longer place a bid on the respective name.


## How to participate in an Auction:

## Post-sale and name transfers 

After a name is sold, we will contact both buyers and sellers via email to complete the transaction.

These notices will also contain the details of the transactions which have taken place.


## When should I expect to receive my funds?

You should expect to receive your funds within a maximum of 5 business days. 


## Rules

### Reserve price
The reserve price is the minimum price a seller is willing to sell a name for. 
If bids do not reach the reserve price, the TLD owner is not obliged to sell. 

### Bids
Once you place a bid you are promising that you will purchase the TLD at that price, in the event that it is the highest bid. By completing this action, you are entering a legally binding contract and cannot rescind.

### Bid increments
Bid increments will vary based on the Name. It will be specific bids per auction. 

### Not following through with the contract
If you do not transfer the required funds via escrow within 5 business days, you will be blacklisted from all future events.

You are expected to transfer funds within 1-2 business days. Reminder emails will be sent each day after this period, with a final reminder on the 4th day.

### Fund contributions

Fund contributions are completely optional, however highly encouraged. We will promote and shoutout whoever contributes funds towards the Handshake ecosystem. 

### Commission

10% of all TLD sale revenue's will go towards the organisers for the event, leaving the sellers with 90% of all sale revenues.

Shakestats IDN Auction

Attend the first auction opening doors to the new, inclusive internet.

We will provide an analytical overview of all names submitted!

The event will be filled with everything from music and the best commentary!

The term IDN refers to “Internationalized domain names” which were introduced on DNS in 2003. Due to many technical and cultural adoption hurdles, their usage has been quite limited, leading to many non-english speakers adapting to phonetic english for their websites, emails and their general online Identity, despite a large increase in native language internet usage. Handshake allows anyone to register TLD’s and subdomains under them, whilst ICANN requires an application to register a new Top level domain, which costs $185,000 USD. With Handshake, anyone can own their identity, no matter the language.

What are IDN’s?
