Keynote: Towards a more effective, decentralized web

on YouTube ↗01h 04m

" summary

Argues that Merkle DAG and content-addressed hashes (the same ideas in git and BitTorrent) replace location-based HTTP by addressing immutable data; shows IPFS/IPNS tooling (a working IPFS daemon in Go, node and Python skeletons) that serves content locally, uses DHT and mDNS for discovery and gateways like ipfs.io for HTTP fallback, and signs mutable names with self-certified IPNS names. Reports practical wins (versioned web, efficient P2P block exchange) and open problems: bootstrapping/stable nodes, chunk-size heuristics and churn resilience.
