hackmd-github-sync-badge 📆 Join the WG meetings 🎥 Watch previous meetings Problem statement: trust or verify Today, IPFS stands out as the predominant decentralized network for hosting dapp frontends and static assets, such as NFT images. Nevertheless, users commonly retrieve these CIDs from trusted gateways with browsers without verifying. This undermines the benefits of verifiablity in IPFS, as users place implicit trust in gateways, leaving them vulnerable to various attacks. The challenge of verifying CIDs within the browser context varies depending on what the CID is. It proves more straightforward to verify static assets like images and JSON compared to verifying the CID of a frontend. In the case of a frontend's CID, the only viable method involves running a separate IPFS node that exposes a gateway for verification purposes.
