Handshake [1] is a great keybase alternative that doesn’t even rely on centralization. All information is verifiable with the blockchain acting as the root of trust.
Isn't that chat pretty new in Keybase's history?
It looks like keybase has morphed since I've last looked at it. I recall its primary function being that of a Web of Trust-like system for different public keys and addresses.

That said, with additional tools, Handshake also improves end to end encryption services since you can actually place fingerprints/certificates on the blockchain so you can actually verify these instead of just 'hitting yes' like most people appear to do when using e2e chat applications.
As a bonus, it also improves web security since there are hundreds of actors who can generate 'valid' certificates today. This becomes impossible with Handshake.
I guess it depends on the user, but the key feature of Keybase (for me) is the web of trust I've built over the years now, and secondary is the features built on top of that web of trust.
