Use Handshake or create Tors Own decentralised alias/attestation layer for Tor onion identities.
Something like gerry.g3wip TXT/DS-style record says: onion=jee3z7cpmfhcc62hhs33utyovghbyr3hlhumxwkr2zoo5mzskz5cvhqd.onion
proof=signature from onion service key
Then a resolver/browser/plugin can verify:
1. gerry.g3wip is owned via Handshake.
2. The record points to a long onion.
3. The onion service proves “yes, I authorised this alias”.
4. User gets taken to the onion, without trusting a central The Web3 name is just a signed
I’m not proposing .onion as a Handshake namespace. I’m proposing a decentralised naming/attestation layer where a Handshake name can publish and cryptographically verify a mapping to a Tor v3 onion service, similar to how DNS can advertise service endpoints, but without replacing Tor’s self-authenticating onion address.
