Website Permanance

WebHash seeks to tackle the root cause of digital decay by introducing a robust, truly decentralized method of permanent hosting. Its design principles include:

1. Storage pool

   • Users can pay a lump sum into a storage pool, intended to finance hosting rewards indefinitely.

2. Inflationary Token Issuance

   • The protocol mints new tokens over time to continuously incentivize nodes to store and serve content, thus reducing reliance on a single upfront payment.

3. Self-Replication

   • Content owners (publishers) can run their own node software, guaranteeing they maintain a local copy of their website and participate in the hosting network.

4. Reputation & Proof-of-Storage

   • Node operators prove they actually hold the data, and a reputation system rewards consistency while penalizing downtime or fraud.

5. Community Archival Efforts

   • Nonprofits, libraries, and DAOs can voluntarily store culturally significant data, adding redundancy beyond economic incentives alone.

These mechanisms aim to provide “content immortality”: ensuring that once data is uploaded and funded, it remains available as long as the global network persists—independent of any single company or centralized infrastructure.
