Open Protocols for Decentralized Publishing on the Web

Examples

By Chelsea​ ​Barabas, Neha​ ​Narula and Ethan​ ​Zuckerman:

"While none of these projects is a decentralized publishing and discovery system in its own right, the three projects are critical pieces of infrastructure that developers could use to build a robust, decentralized publishing platform.

• Blockstack is implementing an alternative to the current DNS/URL naming framework. Others seek to support more decentralized paradigms for handling

content storage and versioning.

• The Interplanetary File System is creating a new transport protocol to address challenges around preserving links to content online.

• Solid aims to introduce a more interoperable, human-meaningful linking structure directly into the web."
