Ethereum File System (EFS)
EFS v1 helps Arbitrum users discover IPFS-hosted app frontends and inspect provenance, verification status, and known limitations before launching.

Description
EFS turns decentralized app discovery into shared, verifiable data. This prototype is an app catalog for IPFS-hosted frontends used by Arbitrum projects. Users can browse app cards, inspect provenance and verification status, and launch a pinned frontend rather than relying solely on a project’s web server. Built on Ethereum File System v1 and Ethereum Attestation Service, it demonstrates how decentralized infrastructure can support a practical app directory. Content hashes identify specific frontend versions; they do not guarantee an app’s safety.
Progress During Hackathon
EFS v1 existed before this hackathon. We built the new catalog interface with thumbnails, filters, and tested/limited/discovery-only labels. We implemented local-chain catalog publication and readback, proof-bound JSON export, and rejection of stale exports. Current coverage includes one tested entry, two limited entries, and three discovery-only entries.
