## What is Shakescape?

Shakescape is a dual-root browser that resolves both ICANN and Handshake names and shows how each selected path was authenticated.

Browser features:

- Browse Handshake names such as example/ and name.tld/
- Sync and verify Handshake headers and name proofs on your device
- Resolve delegated names through authoritative DNS or proof-anchored authoritative DNS-over-HTTPS
- Validate DNSSEC, TLSA, and DANE policies locally
- Inspect resolver paths, proof details, and security status
- Optionally enable requester-only HNS peer-to-peer DNS relay consumption
- Optionally configure recursive HNS DoH recovery when direct authoritative resolution is blocked
- Keep HNS answers subject to local proof, DNSSEC, TLSA, and DANE validation without an HNS WebPKI fallback
- Keep website data in a persistent WebKit profile
- Download files and share pages with standard iOS controls

Native HNS wallet features:

- Create or restore one device-local Shakescape wallet
- Unlock it with device-protected key storage
- Synchronize balance and recent activity directly with Handshake peers
- Receive HNS with an address or payment QR code
- Review and approve guarded HNS sends with an explicit fee cap
- Import tracked Handshake names and set a restoration birthday height
- Delete the encrypted local wallet through a protected confirmation flow

Wallet actions remain inside the native app. Websites cannot invoke wallet operations or receive wallet data, and the app does not install a website wallet provider. Recovery phrases and private keys are not sent to Denuo Web or analytics services. The camera is used only when you choose to scan a Handshake payment QR code; the decoded address is processed on the device.

The current release does not expose the unfinished Bitcoin, name-operation, or Shakedex marketplace screens. It has no developer-operated account, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, subscription, in-app purchase, exchange service, or paid feature unlock.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-02

Improves direct HNS wallet synchronization, new-wallet birthday selection, pending-send recovery, and browser header freshness when returning from the wallet. Also clears a stale recovery message after authenticated browsing resumes and keeps bounded wallet catch-up presented as one continuous operation.

### 0.5.10 — 2026-08-11

Adds device-local native wallet lifecycle controls and read-only balance, receive, history, names, and status fields, which remain unavailable without a scoped indexed backend. Also adds ECH for supported HNS origins, clearer sync/reset recovery, and code-split asset-burst handling without raising the total proxy limit.

### 0.5.5 — 2026-07-31

Fixes secure-browser startup on fresh iOS installs when the default protection policy is already active. Safe page loads now recover from brief connection losses during validated Handshake header maintenance. Authenticated ICANN TLSA absence now remains valid when DNS replies contain compressed negative records or resolution spans a clock tick. This update also keeps browsing responsive during sync, publishes header and peer state atomically, and adds hardened recovery for confirmed DNS interception.

### 0.5.0 — 2026-07-28

No release notes.
