Decentralized Website

A website hosted on IPFS and accessed via a blockchain domain — censorship-resistant and decentralized.

A decentralized website is a site hosted on a distributed network (typically IPFS) rather than a centralized web server, accessible via a Web3 domain. Because the content is distributed across thousands of nodes and the domain is stored on a blockchain, a decentralized website cannot be taken down by a single government, company, or hosting provider. Browsers like Brave support decentralized website resolution natively.
