I think web3 is not completely decentralized or safe to use.
Consider the following example :

I have made a voting Dapp on ethereum .



  • Now my smart contract will be on ethereum blockchain and my variable and functional calculation will be evaluated on EVM.

  • But still I need to host my website (html/js code) using web hosting service like heroku

    (which will then communicate with ethereum blockchain to provide information).


  • It is true that hacker wont be able to edit data (because it is on ethereum)
    but he/she can still hack web hosting service (heroku) right? .



    And if it is hacked my Dapp wont be available to people.

    Then why ethereum is considered as safe to use ?

    Please someone correct me if I am wrong or suggest an alternative solution that even website service cannot be hacked.

          ...or suggest an alternative solution that even website service cannot be hacked.




          The alternative is the host the front end in a decentralised manner.



          This can be achieved using a service such as IPFS or Swarm.



          Also see:



          • What is Swarm and what is it used for?

          • What is the right way to access DAAPs?

          • What is the difference between Swarm and IPFS?


          And if it is hacked my Dapp wont be available to people.




          Your contracts will still be accessible by other means, for example by using a proxy such as Infura, or by running a client a locally.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
