How to publish a page on IPNS or IPFS ๐Ÿ”—

IPNS and IPFS integration

When publishing your template on the 1W3 platform, you have the option to choose between publishing on IPNS or IPFS. Here's how you can make the choice:

  • Automatic IPNS Key Generation:

    • When you publish your template, the 1W3 editor automatically generates an IPNS key for your website.

    • IPNS allows for dynamic content and seamless updates but incurs gas fees on every update.

  • Integration with Your Domain:

    • The generated IPNS key can be integrated with your domain, enabling visitors to access your decentralized website using your domain name.

    • This integration helps establish a consistent and recognizable web address for your website.

  • Switching to IPFS:

    • If you want to avoid gas fees on further updates to your website's content, you have the option to switch to IPFS.

    • By switching to IPFS, you can enjoy the benefits of decentralized storage without incurring gas fees for each update.

Ultimately, the choice between IPNS and IPFS depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you anticipate frequent content updates and want to avoid gas fees, switching to IPFS may be the best option for you. However, it's important to note that IPFS updates may take some time to propagate across the network and become accessible to all users.
