Why are you sure if you don't know?
Anyway, I mentioned some on my original post. There are ways, but so far there have been tradeoffs in terms of ease of gaming or transaction volume. Blockchains aren't magic and have their own trade offs. That said I'm always interested to read about new systems working to mitigate those.
Reading only a little about handshake, I haven't yet seen anything that nudges me otherwise. Blockchains also make having light clients very difficult or otherwise they need to use another service tondo the heavy lifting. There are some references that handshake doesn't, so I'm interested to read further.

I'm sure because handshake is such a system and there are many ways to skin a cat, and it's not a problem that I'd classify as 'hard' in a technical sense, such as useful quantum computing or terraforming Mars which both may or may not be possible. The hard part here is getting people to use it, the network effects.
I do agree with what you wrote about the tradeoffs with the current solutions, but those are tractable problems, I believe.

This part from https://handshake.org/files/handshake.txt does concern me, though:
