What are we to build on ENS: WebHash.com is a platform enhancing ENS domain utility by enabling easy creation of engaging dwebsites, contributing to wider ENS adoption and user engagement.
The Problem:
Digital Decay: 38% of all web pages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible due to server failures, hosting expiration, or content restrictions, leading to the loss of valuable information and digital assets. Centralized hosting models are vulnerable to outages, censorship, and limited longevity.
We are on a mission to unlock the full potential of ENS domains. Currently, with 800K unique participants holding ENS names, only 22,500 of them have active dwebsites. which points to the challenges users face in deploying and designing their dwebsites. Our approach is focused on transforming ENS domains into foundational building blocks for decentralised identities (DIDs), where each domain is connected to a content hash, revealing a unique digital persona.
Over the past year, our focus has been the simplification of 'link-in-bio' pages, making it possible for users to connect their ENS domains with personalised and informative dwebsite that serves as a central hub for their decentralised identity (DID). Building upon this foundation, we are expanding our scope to include comprehensive blogging tools, static sites and customizable templates.
Key Features:
Tokenized Website Template Marketplace: We have tokenized website templates as ERC-1155 NFTs, offering ready-to-use, customizable foundations for portfolios, blogs, services, and more. Simply mint and build. Despite the $1.5 billion website template market and over 50% of websites on the internet being built with templates, Web3 has largely overlooked their tokenization potential.
Ready-to-Use Blocks: Explore a range of pre-designed blocks and integrations on WebHash that make building websites fast and easy, no coding needed. Choose, customize, and create your website with just a few clicks.
Hash Dweb Gateway for ENS Websites: Chrome does not resolve .eth domains. While projects like .limo offer a workaround, they introduce potential vulnerabilities tied to centralized infrastructure. The Hash Gateway enables seamless resolution of .eth domains without relying on any centralized gateway, allowing users to experience the decentralized web as it was intended. secure, censorship-resistant, and truly decentralized. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hash-decentralized-gatewa/mjjndfhdgdafdonmmpbmddiginkbclmi?hl=en
We have conducted Three buildathons to motivate ENS holders to create decentralized websites (dWebsites) for .eth domains, distributing prizes totaling around $3200 among the competition winners. More buildations are coming soon.
Stats We’ve achieved notable success with over 4100 user signups and the creation of more than 6000 decentralised ‘link-in-bio’ websites with 400GB IPFS decentralised storage utilisation.
Roadmap:
Token gated websites.
