## What is EarthFast?

EarthFast is an infrastructure protocol that helps projects build decentralized products with the ease and performance of web2.

It offers a fully decentralized website hosting solution with on-chain source of truth and distributed off-chain storage.

## What are the benefits of EarthFast?

* Decentralize technology and operationalize risk away from the core team
* Control website versions and on-chain updates with Multisig wallets, DAOs, governance or any other on-chain entity
* Reduce reliance on centralized web serving stacks and follow the web3 ethos of decentralization
* Eliminate IPFS/IPNS/ENS resolution and availability problems

## How does EarthFast work?

* A decentralized network of nodes hosts and serves content securely with high availability + performance guarantees
* Versioning is on-chain, and control can be given to any Ethereum address, including a smart contract (eg. for a DAO)
* Anyone can provide payment on-chain for hosting a given site by the node marketplace
* Anyone can register a real-world domain name and associate it securely with an EarthFast-hosted site
