dApps: How Unstoppable Are They?

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

Uniswap keeps core logic as smart contracts on-chain (no owner controls), while its UI runs via Cloudflare + IPFS front end with each IPFS hash published to GitHub; token lists sit on IPFS but gateways add central points. Best-route computation uses a Node.js route finder on AWS (open source but a single-host failure hurts UX), and blockchain access relies on Infura RPC centralization, which is the biggest single stoppage risk. No server-side DB (only localStorage), and alternatives explored include FAA aash and acist for decentralized compute and Oasis Network for TEEs and encrypted on-chain keys.
