Decentralized knowledge preservation — because information shouldn't disappear
Information is being removed from the internet at an accelerating rate. Websites go down. Social media posts get deleted. Research papers disappear behind paywalls. News articles get edited after publication. History is being quietly rewritten.
The Wayback Machine is incredible, but it’s a single organization — a single point of failure. If they go down, or are pressured to remove content, there’s no backup plan.
The internet was supposed to be permanent. It’s not. We need to build the permanence ourselves.
A decentralized archiving system where anyone can submit URLs or content for preservation. Content is stored redundantly across multiple nodes so no single entity can take it all down. Everything is searchable, citable, and verifiable.
Built on IPFS and distributed storage, but with a frontend that normal people can actually use — not just command-line tools for developers.
Just Interested? Request to join and share what kind of content you think is most at risk of disappearing.
Have Ideas? We need input on content prioritization, legal considerations around archiving, and how to incentivize node operators.
Ready to Build? We need distributed systems engineers, IPFS specialists, Rust developers for the storage layer, and frontend developers for the web interface.
Run Infrastructure? If you’re willing to host a storage node, we need people to form the initial network.
