So what you're saying is that we need a front-end layer with content-addressable hashes?

Like Beaker Browser with Dat, or like IPFS gateways?

And then we have a truly decentralized ecosystem in which billions of dollars are invested and trading. And no one owns it!

They can't introduce a 100% fee or deactivate their contracts. I read the code. It is impossible.

Yes. I said in my first comment that you can use other tools to access smart contracts.

My point is, all of these tools have central leadership and centralized auxiliary services (DNS, discord, etc). Without the centralized leadership or centralized services, these protocols can’t function.

DHTs arent centralized.

As I said there needs fo be a front end that is based on DHT. Freenet. Beaker Browser. IPFS. Why not?

While its worth considering the power structures behind a project, and what would happen for example if Uniswap Labs decides to put their weight behind a particular fork, or proposes a new version - the protocols can and d function without centralized leadership.

Even today, every wallet's swap feature is already an aggregator across multiple DEXes - neither theU Uniswap website nor their discord nor their leadership team are required for the protocol to continue to function.

Reminder: TornadoCash is still up and running and actively used.
