Frontend Decentralization

Frontend decentralization refers to the practice of hosting the user interface of a decentralized application in a way that is not dependent on a single, centralized server. This is often achieved by hosting the application code on decentralized storage networks like IPFS, ensuring that the interface remains accessible even if a specific domain is censored or a server is taken down.

In the context of derivatives, this provides a critical layer of resilience, as it ensures that traders can always access their positions and withdraw collateral, regardless of external interference. It aligns the interface layer with the underlying decentralized protocol, creating a truly censorship-resistant experience.

This is a key requirement for protocols that aim to operate outside the control of any single jurisdiction or entity.
