DWeb Seminar 2025

Current Science & Grand Challenges August 13-17, 2025 @ Internet Archive, SF

After more than ten years of pioneering work towards a genuinely decentralized and distributed system, it is time to revisit how far the decentralized web has come.

What is the current science in the peer-2-peer space? What are the immediate technical challenges ahead of us?
