Phoenix Forge

Phoenix Forge is a decentralized platform that preserves Web3 governance frontends, keeping them permanently accessible on IPFS and ENS even if the original sites go offline.

Description

Overview

Phoenix Forge is a decentralized frontend resurrection platform designed to preserve critical Web3 infrastructure. When DAO governance dashboards go offline due to funding constraints, domain expiration, or team dissolution, Phoenix Forge ensures these essential tools remain permanently accessible through IPFS and ENS.

The Problem

Smart contracts are immutable and live forever on the blockchain, but their frontend interfaces are vulnerable to centralized hosting failures. When DAO funding runs out, domains expire, or teams disband, members lose access to critical governance tools, treasury management interfaces, and protocol dashboards—effectively locking users out of their on-chain assets.

The Solution

Phoenix Forge addresses this critical infrastructure gap by:

  • Archiving abandoned frontends from the Wayback Machine

  • Enhancing them with modern Web3 wallet connectors

  • Deploying to IPFS for permanent, tamper-proof storage

  • Linking via ENS subdomains for human-readable access

  • Enabling censorship-resistant access through eth.limo gateways

Progress During Hackathon

I have implemented a good frontend and hosted using pinme.
