XCHandles is a decentralized protocol for registering memorable @handles on Chia, giving people and apps a human-readable alternative to long blockchain addresses. It was built over more than two years through four protocol revisions, with working puzzles, drivers, tests, a CLI, and draft CHIPs. Mainnet launch is scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 09:00 UTC.
