history

Project history and usage

Bob Wallet is a desktop wallet for the Handshake naming blockchain. It supports HNS transactions, Vickrey name auctions, domain and DNS-record management, marketplace purchases, and optional full-node operation.

Project history

Bob Wallet was developed as a native graphical wallet and integrated full node for Handshake. The current official site describes Bob LearnHNS as the maintained continuation, using lightweight SPV mode by default while retaining full-node support.

Adoption history

Bob became a desktop-oriented entry point to the Handshake ecosystem by combining wallet functions, name auctions, DNS management, and a full node in one GUI. Official releases support macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the README documents Homebrew installation for macOS.

How it is used

Users hold and transfer HNS, search and bid on names, reveal auction bids, renew or transfer names, and edit DNS records. Advanced users can run a complete Handshake node; typical users can use SPV mode to avoid storing and synchronizing the full chain.

Why package nerds care

Bob matters to package users because it packages several normally command-line-oriented Handshake workflows into a desktop application. It also illustrates the operational distinction between uninstalling an application bundle and removing its separately retained blockchain and wallet data.

Timeline

  • 2022: The official repository published Bob Wallet 2.1.0 packages for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • 2026: The official site presented Bob LearnHNS 2.3.0 as the actively maintained desktop wallet and made SPV mode the lightweight default.

Related projects

  • Handshake supplies the naming blockchain; LearnHNS and Shakedex provide marketplace functionality referenced by the current official site.
