ENS is an example of a project that is extant, working, and has a decent amount of funding (controlled democratically through a delegated token voting system). Here's my ENS record:

also, my post is on arweave, one of the cryptoeconomic data availability layers mentioned on the post:

What I like about handshake is that you can own the TLD. I own searchableguy/ top level domain. This is gated by ICANN right now and they charge huge fees for nothing.

Is it me or this links to some JSON?

yeah, it links to a standard JSON format for my article. mirror's data is portable. the json also contains my signature which authenticates the post to my self-sovereign identity (the keypair associated with my ENS name).

I just to a quick look it seams pretty centralized in practice no? https://docs.ens.domains/permanent-registrar-faq

all of that functionality is mediated by on-chain evm bytecode

And if there is a logical error, what's the correction mechanism?

The ENS DAO is responsible for changes to the protocol. There's a constitution, delegates, and proposals as tools for corrections.
