Blockchain technology has arguably progressed to the point that Zooko&#x27;s triangle can be solved.<p>If you&#x27;re interested in learning more about a project that is giving this a stab, check out Handshake.[0]<p>Here are some notes from a Handshake developer about Zooko&#x27;s Triangle.<p>&gt; Handshake is a decentralized, permission-less naming protocol compatible with DNS. We seek to solve Zooko&#x27;s triangle through the use of a utxo-based blockchain, which manages the registration, renewal, and transfer of DNS top-level domains (TLDs). The initial goal is not to replace the DNS protocol but to replace the root zone file and the root servers with a decentralized, public commons. By tying name ownership to a utxo, and embedding DNS records into its metadata, a chain of trust can be created by a digital signature and verified by querying blockchain data. A decentralized network of validating peers anchors this chain of trust. The ultimate goal is to provide an alternative to existing Certificate Authorities.[1]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;handshake.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;handshake.org</a> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WebOfTrustInfo&#x2F;rwot8-barcelona&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;topics-and-advance-readings&#x2F;handshake.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;WebOfTrustInfo&#x2F;rwot8-barcelona&#x2F;blob&#x2F;maste...</a>
