When giants open the gates, Handshake names persist. The next ICANN gTLD round will mint colliding strings. We keep building, keep resolving, and keep showing up.

HandyCon Persist is three days of sessions, builders, and community — Wednesday through Friday, March 10–12, 2027, before US daylight saving starts.
