プロジェクトの歴史

Handshake's own site identifies hsd as the initial code for the protocol, and the hsd README describes it as an implementation of Handshake. The project grew as a node, wallet, DNS resolver, RPC server, and CLI suite rather than as a single-purpose daemon.

The README and install guide show a Node.js-based project distributed from the official GitHub repository, installable from source, Git refs, Homebrew, and container images. The command set includes hsd, hsd-cli, hsw-cli, RPC shortcuts, wallet tools, and seeding utilities.

採用の歴史

HSD adoption is tied to Handshake network participation: running a full node, serving recursive or authoritative DNS, managing wallets, mining, claiming names through DNSSEC proofs, and participating in name auctions. The Homebrew and Nix package metadata in the input shows packaging beyond npm-style installation.

The release notes show long-running protocol maintenance with network soft forks, database and wallet migrations, API changes, and DNS/name-resolution improvements. That makes hsd closer to Bitcoin-derived node software than to a disposable CLI.

使われ方

Common usage is operational: run hsd as a full node, query it with hsd-cli, manage wallet state with hsw-cli, expose node and wallet HTTP APIs, and configure DNS ports for recursive or authoritative service.

The README emphasizes bitcoind-style RPC plus additional REST APIs, name auction commands such as sendopen, sendbid, sendreveal, sendupdate, and DNSSEC-based claim flows.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

For package maintainers, hsd is significant because it packages a full blockchain/DNS stack with native dependency considerations such as libunbound, network ports, persistent state under ~/.hsd, wallet migrations, and security-sensitive API keys.

It is also a good example of an ecosystem package where the formula is not just installing a binary: the package participates in a protocol, has stateful upgrades, and exposes multiple command-line entry points.
