On-Chain Hosting

Your Website, On the Blockchain — Uncensorable, Verifiable, Global

Host websites and dApps directly on-chain with native SSL, geo-blocking, wallet authentication, delta deploys, and content verification. No server to manage, no hosting provider to trust.

What Is On-Chain Hosting?

Your entire website — every file, every asset — lives on the blockchain, served globally without a single server to manage.

  • Transaction Chains store website content directly in the Content field — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, fonts, everything on-chain. Your website is not hosted on a server that can go down, be seized, or be censored.
  • Native blob storage in Elixir/OTP replaces the IPFS/Kubo dependency entirely, delivering native performance without external pinning services, garbage collection issues, or gateway bottlenecks.
  • Content-addressed storage: every file receives a cryptographic hash upon deployment. Anyone can verify that the content served matches exactly what was published.
  • General-purpose data & file storage: Store any data or files on-chain — documents, images, datasets, configuration files.

  • Delta deploys: manifest-based hosting tracks your site structure. On updates, only changed files are uploaded — saving 90%+ bandwidth. Version your entire website like a git repository, with instant rollbacks.
  • Multi-node distribution: DNS round-robin or GeoDNS across web-capability nodes worldwide ensures low-latency delivery regardless of the user's location.
  • SSL/TLS automation via Caddy/Nginx reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt — fully automatic certificate provisioning and renewal.

Geo-Blocking & Access Control

Granular access control built directly into the hosting protocol — not bolted on at the server level.

  • Region-based blocking: restrict access based on geographic location. Comply with sanctions, data residency, or market-specific restrictions — enforced by every serving node.
  • Wallet-based authentication: require a valid ATSHI wallet to access content. Gate your site behind wallet ownership with zero traditional auth infrastructure.
  • Role-based content access: different content visible to different roles via ATSHI's RBAC system. Admins, members, visitors — all from the same deployment.

Access Control Layers

1 Geographic Filtering
2 Wallet Authentication
3 Role-Based Access
4 Token-Gated Content
  • Token-gated content: require ownership of specific tokens or NFTs to view premium content. Access provably tied to on-chain asset ownership.
  • IP-based and country-level filtering for regulatory compliance — GDPR, export controls, jurisdiction-specific content laws.
  • Combined with per-field encryption for partial content visibility — public data alongside encrypted sections accessible only to authorized wallets or roles.

Naming System

Three tiers of naming to match every use case — from instant subdomains to fully custom domains bridged to on-chain content.

Managed Subdomains

Instant setup with zero configuration. Deploy your site and get a URL like username.atshi.network immediately. Perfect for prototypes, personal sites, and quick launches. SSL included automatically.

Instant · Zero Config

On-Chain Names

Register human-readable names directly on-chain, owned by your Transaction Chain. Your name is a blockchain asset — transferable, tradeable, and permanently yours. No registrar can revoke it, no ICANN policy can seize it.

Owned · Transferable

DNS Bridge

Connect your own domain (.com, .fr, .io) to on-chain content via the DNS bridge with .arch TLD resolution. Keep your existing brand identity while serving content from the blockchain. Traditional DNS meets decentralized hosting.

Custom Domains · .arch TLD

Content Verification

Cryptographic proof that the content you see is exactly what was published — verified client-side, not promised server-side.

  • Client-side verification: HTTP headers include the on-chain content hash. Your browser can independently verify that content matches what was stored on the blockchain.
  • JavaScript SDK: embed verification directly in any web application. A few lines of code and your site proves its own integrity to every visitor.

Verification Flow

Hash Comparison
Verified / Rejected
  • Browser extension: a visual badge confirms content integrity on any ATSHI-hosted site. Verified, tampered, or unverified — visible at a glance.
  • Protects against tampering: even if a relay node is compromised, the client detects any modification instantly. No man-in-the-middle attack can succeed undetected.

Package Registry

A decentralized CDN for shared libraries — versioned, verified, and community-maintained. Reference instead of bundling.

Decentralized CDN

Shared libraries like React, TFHE WASM modules, and common frameworks are hosted on-chain as verified packages. Reference them directly in your deployments — no need to bundle heavy dependencies. Every package is served from the same globally distributed infrastructure as your site.

React · TFHE WASM · Common Frameworks

Versioned & Verified

Every package has on-chain hash verification and semantic versioning. Pin to exact versions for reproducible builds, or track major versions for automatic non-breaking updates. Community-maintained: anyone can publish verified packages, reviewed and validated by the network.

Advantages

Every benefit of traditional hosting, none of the vulnerabilities — plus capabilities that centralized infrastructure simply cannot offer.

Uncensorable

Content lives on the blockchain — no single point of failure, no hosting provider to pressure, no kill switch. Your site stays online as long as the network exists.

Verifiable

Cryptographic proof that content has not been tampered with. Client-side verification, browser extension badges, and SDK integration make integrity visible and automatic.

Global

GeoDNS distribution across web-capability nodes worldwide. Low-latency delivery everywhere, no CDN configuration required — the network IS the CDN.

Secure

SSL automation, wallet authentication, geo-blocking, role-based access, and token-gating — all built into the protocol. Security by default, not by configuration.

Efficient

Delta deploys save 90%+ bandwidth on updates. Manifest-based tracking means only changed files are uploaded. Version history with instant rollback to any previous state.

Developer-Friendly

Simple CLI deployment with familiar web tools. Build your site with any framework, deploy with a single command. No blockchain expertise required to host.

Deploy Your First On-Chain Website

Your website deserves better than a server that can be shut down, a hosting provider that can be pressured, or a CDN that can be compromised. Deploy on ATSHI and get censorship resistance, content verification, wallet authentication, and global distribution — all from a single CLI command. The future of web hosting is on-chain.
