We're thrilled to announce our $1.4M pre-seed led by @TheGP and @nascentxyz, along with @bodhi_ventures / @kain and @roneil!
EarthFast empowers projects to build + host decentralized apps with ease, offering a scalable, secure and performant alternative to traditional cloud platforms.
No waitlist, no credit card needed, this is live today at dashboard.earthfast.com. For more information on how this works, check out our docs docs.earthfast.com/overview/…

@LiquityProtocol published this detailed post explaining their thought process, and why decentralized frontends protect users against frontend hacks. (h/t @edwardmulraney)

@LiquityProtocol has chosen not to run their own frontend, choosing instead to prioritize decentralization and resiliency.
They have thought critically about these tradeoffs, and provide excellent resources to help DeFi users make informed decisions.

@EarthFast is now running a frontend for @LiquityProtocol, one of the world's largest decentralized borrowing protocols.
Liquity has been an industry pioneer in decentralized frontends, enabling trustless frontend access while preserving the familiar web2 experience. 🧵

Unless you’re already running your frontend locally, using an open source frontend that transparently shows updates is a great step forward in security
Security Through Transparency
EarthFast's mission is to enable secure access to permissionless apps.
Today, we're launching Project Showcase, to show off some great examples. 🧵
The dashboard features crypto frontends that are open source, enable direct chain access, and use transparent onchain versioning.

To further our mission, we're hosting mirrors of many industry-critical frontends, including @safe, @ShapeShift, @thales_io, @Balancer, and @MorphoLabs.
We'll keep adding more, to help provide secure onchain UX for crypto users.

For any frontend hosted on @EarthFast, the user can see exactly what code they are interacting with.
The content hashes are written onchain, enabling independent verification.
The Pipeline viewer provides observability from code to live site, meaning your users can confidently perform transactions through your frontend.

Crypto has historically been focused on smart contract security, while neglecting the access layer – frontends.
Today, too many apps are closed-source, rely on servers instead of direct chain access, or are not even entirely client-side (eg NextJS server-side-rendering).
In this state, it's no surprise that users don't trust the sites they are interacting with.
But there's a better way.

We're a long way from resilient, permissionless systems.
Disappointing that many of the most popular wallets are still susceptible to the same old web2 issues.
Open-source light clients should be the standard
Great to see more folks thinking critically about permissionless frontends. Thanks to @polymutex for the thread enumerating the options today, including @EarthFast.
We're singularly focused on building the most secure decentralized protocol for frontend hosting.

Network Attacks & Single Points-of-failure
Projects can use multiple domain and content nodes, each independently registered & staked onchain.
This prevents:
– DDoS
– Sybil attacks
– Malicious nodes

Tamper Resistance & Transparent Versioning
When an EarthFast asset bundle is built, a hash is computed for each file and committed onchain.
This is done for each version of the site, and updates are controlled by an onchain entity owned by the project or its community.
When the site is loaded, each piece of content is validated against that hash, else the file is rejected.
This prevents:
– Man in the middle
– Compromised node
– Unauthorized updates

How EarthFast enables secure decentralized frontends 🔒
@EarthFast is designed to be the most secure protocol for decentralized frontends, offering more security guarantees than IPFS and other existing solutions.
