TOKEN2049 - Live from the Permaweb: Demos of the decentralised web - Sam Williams (Arweave)
Join Sam Williams, the innovative mind behind Arweave, as he presents "Live from the Permaweb: Demos of the Decentralised Web" at TOKEN2049. In this compelling session, Sam explores the groundbreaking technology of Arweave—a decentralized, censorship-resistant platform that empowers the creation and preservation of permanent web applications through the permaweb.
The permaweb, built on Arweave’s unique blockchain-based structure called "blockweave," offers unparalleled redundancy with approximately 180 copies of each stored datum, ensuring the persistence and availability of web content beyond the transient nature of the conventional web. Arweave thereby aims to eliminate digital decay, providing an enduring web archive akin to a decentralized Library of Alexandria—impervious to deletion, alteration, or loss.
Highlighting the integration of typical web technologies, Sam showcases how Arweave's network nodes operate using standard HTTP protocols, allowing web browsers to seamlessly interact with decentralized applications. This innovation significantly lowers the barriers for developers, expanding the potential audience for decentralized applications to anyone familiar with JavaScript, and thereby accelerating adoption.
Sam illustrates these revolutionary concepts with practical examples, including a decentralized email client developed in a hackathon, demonstrating Arweave's capability to build applications quickly and efficiently while ensuring user data integrity and control.
Immerse yourself in the future of a web where knowledge and data endure indefinitely. For developers and tech enthusiasts eager to explore new horizons of web permanence, this talk is an eye-opener. For additional resources and to begin your journey with Arweave, visit arweave.org.
