As a community we spend a lot of time making sure our core infrastructure is decentralized and censorship resistant, but these properties are seldom propagated all the way to end users. In particular applications tend to rely on a multitude of centralized services. We can do better!
This talk aims to shed some light on the fact that it's not actually very difficult to build fully censorship resistant applications. In fact we have all the tools we need, we just need to be smart about how we are building applications. All of this can be done in a way which doesn't really compromise user experience either.
Beyond just highlighting a happy path, we will cover common pitfalls when it comes to dapp centralization vectors. We will also talk about how the status quo could be improved further.
