The internet nowadays is ephemeral. Layers upon layers of trusted 3rd parties are necessary to distribute content online. It requires ongoing maintenance and is susceptible to censorship or hostile takedowns. In this blog post, I describe the steps I took to host my blog in a trustless, permanent, and censorship-resistant way using the IPFS network and Ethereum blockchain.

We’ll be covering many topics, including NFTs, Ethereum smart contracts, and ENS domains, but you don’t need to be familiar with any of those. This post aims to help you configure your own trustless and decentralized website even if you don’t have any blockchain-related experience.

Disclaimer: The information provided in this blog post is for educational purposes only. Please do your own research on the potential consequences of trying to circumvent censorship in your jurisdiction.

Since I’ve started blogging, it was my goal to publish on an infrastructure that I own. Publishing on platforms like Medium is giving away your work for free. Don’t do it. If you trust the corporations to host your content permanently, you might want to read up on the story of Yahoo groups and the desperate community attempts to salvage them.
