The web has grown increasingly centralized and initiatives like Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) outright seeks to move formerly independent websites onto Google’s own servers. The distributed web seeks to go in the opposite direction and make every client participate in content distribution.
The distributed web seeks to make peer-to-peer content distribution the new default. This should help make the web topology more democratic and resilient to nature and political whims.
On the distributed web, every client is also a server that serves copies of everything the client has recently downloaded. If you think this sounds a lot like how peer-to-peer file transfer protocols like BitTorrent works, then you’re absolutely right. It’s the same principle and IPFS(InterPlanetary File System) shares a lot of the same technology and goals.
