Cardano (ADA), a widely used smart contract platform, is gaining yet another unique use. A user-generated website can employ blockchain as part of a decentralised backing system. A veteran of the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem has presented the first proof of concept.
Cardano (ADA) enthusiasts launched first static website: Details
Yesterday, September 6, 2023, the first static website ever entirely hosted on the Cardano (ADA) blockchain went online. It was a “successful Proof-of-Concept test” using IAGON decentralised storage, according to developer Dave Beaumont.
Beaumont demonstrated how he duplicated and cloned the IAGON decentralised cloud storage project website to make it available on the Cardano (ADA) network. Along with switching to Cardano (ADA), he updated the website’s JavaScript requirements using the Next.js framework.
According to Beaumont, this event represents a significant breakthrough for both programmatic and non-programmatic blockchains as a whole:
According to my understanding, this will be the first website ever to be served from decentralised storage on Cardano (ADA) (maybe the first across all blockchains, I’m not sure). This is only a proof of concept and will undoubtedly lead to further possibilities.
According to Swiper, who won the Cardano (ADA) hackathon, the blockchain needs more ZK, AI-powered, and SocialFi apps to remain competitive, as previously reported by U.Today.
Decentralized DNS and dynamic websites might land on Cardano (ADA)
Beaumont emphasised that the IAGON team contributed to the research and development required for a successful launch on the Cardano (ADA) blockchain.
The uniqueness that will soon be a part of the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem of apps has delighted his admirers on X. Beaumont recommended mapping the website to decentralised DNS and experimenting with dynamic webpages being distributed on Cardano (ADA) when asked about the probable future stages of development.
Creator of the decentralised DNS D3 Global finished seed financing yesterday, Sept. 6, with $5 million raised. Leading VCs supported blockchain DNS pioneers in their endeavours, notably Shima Capital.
