​Introducing Open Sites

Shard Protocol, a multi-purpose and cost-effective solution for creating and storing digital artifacts, has launched Open Sites. This service enables the hosting of websites on TON Blockchain using the Shard Protocol.

Designed for accessibility and ease of use, Open Sites allows users to experience blockchain-based website hosting without the need for any additional extensions. This streamlined approach makes it accessible to everyone, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3.

The first implementation of this technology is the TON Global Chat. This bot is designed to encourage users to explore the TON Community, participate in the chat, and solve puzzles. Each successful interaction and puzzle solved rewards users with in-game tokens known as WEB.

Key features:

Open Sites offers a low-cost solution for building on-chain websites, covering both backend and frontend development.
Features an AI builder capable of generating websites from screenshots.
On-chain sites enable unique applications, such as preserving historical records and developing new client-to-client interactions.
The simplicity of these sites ensures easy access without the need for complex procedures.

An upcoming enhancement for Open Sites is the integration that will allow websites to be resolved through both Web 2 DNS and TON DNS. This will facilitate the hosting of on-chain sites on personal domains, blending traditional web hosting with blockchain innovation.
