Hey everyone,
One area I’d like to see more projects in our ecosystem explore is decentralized frontends. As more protocols move toward credible neutrality and censorship resistance, the frontend layer often remains a weak point. Many dApps still rely on centralized hosting or cloud providers, which introduces availability and trust issues. If a UI can be taken down or censored, the rest of the decentralized stack doesn’t really matter.
There’s been growing momentum around tools like IPFS, ENS, and services such as Fleek and Skynet that help developers host frontends in a distributed way. Some projects are even experimenting with browser extensions or local node access (like dAppNode) to serve UIs directly from the user’s environment. This reduces reliance on trusted third parties and keeps access to DeFi protocols open, even in more adversarial conditions.
I’m curious to hear what others think about this shift. Has anyone here deployed a frontend in a decentralized manner? What are the trade-offs around performance, developer UX, or compliance? Would love to compare experiences and maybe compile some best practices. As our ecosystem grows, I think decentralized access will be just as important as decentralized infrastructure—and now’s a good time to get that conversation started.
