Namebase

Namebase is on a mission to enable freedom, security, and ownership on the Internet. We’re doing this by making Handshake — a new decentralized DNS protocol — easy-to-use. You can think of our product as GoDaddy for Handshake. Since launch six months ago we’ve already processed over $20M in transaction volume and tens of thousands of Handshake name registrations. We work in a highly collaborative environment across a distributed team (currently in US and Australia). Open communication is the standard — strategy discussions occur in slack, not behind closed doors. New initiatives have a single owner to maintain focus while feedback is solicited from everyone. We use Node and Go on the backend, React on the frontend. We're a small team of 7 with ample funding — we've raised from Coinbase Ventures, Thrive Capital, Paradigm Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, and count Josh Elman (board member at Discord) amongst our advisors. We're on an ambitious mission to fight the trend of the traditional internet becoming balkanized. If this resonates with you send me an email at tieshun at namebase.io.
