What are decentralized websites?

About Decentralized websites

Decentralized websites use blockchain and peer-to-peer networks to distribute content across multiple nodes, rather than a central server. This makes them more secure, censorship-resistant, and user-focused. They use protocols like the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to store and serve content, and blockchain-based naming systems like the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) for user-friendly domain names. Their distribution across multiple nodes makes it hard for any authority to manipulate or take down these websites. This design also prioritizes user privacy and data ownership. In short, decentralized websites aim to make the internet more open, transparent, and user-centric.
