Blockchain
The blog of Vitalik Buterin, the inventor of Ethereum (ETH), is now available in Arbitrum Nova’s decentralized storage. Arbitrum Nova is a low-cost smart contract platform that allows for dApps.
Arbitrum Nova sells Ethereum (ETH), creator’s content for $165 only
As part of an experiment with hosting decentralized websites directly on-chain, the personal blog of Vitalik Buterin (https://vitalik.ca/) has been uploaded to Arbitrum Nova. Uploading took 0.13 Ether.
1/6, all the @VitalikButerin blogs have been uploaded to @arbitrum Nova mainnet (40MB) with 0.13 ETH
Further, anyone can browse the blog using web3:// access protocol at https://t.co/0SqaFlYwNw or with ENShttps://t.co/Wqfkivv40B!

Qi Zhou (founder of EthStorage, QuarkChain) shared details of the experiment via Twitter yesterday, Jan. 6, 2023. The website can be accessed via regular browsers and Web3 tools.
Qi Zhou explains that Web3 enthusiasts have many opportunities to make use of this content storage method, as they can access all of the security features of Ethereum (ETH), at significantly reduced costs.
It will also facilitate the onboarding process for newcomers. Arbitrum is a cost-effective alternative to “direct” uploading data to Ethereum’s mainnet. Users can achieve the same level of privacy with trivial fees.
Arbitrum remains the dominant Ethereum L2 scalingr
Qi Zhou says anyone can try hosting their data on-chain. You can upload content to a smart contract using the ethfs–uploader tool. After a contract is created in EthFS, all content can be broadcast. This system is fully censorship-resistant.
Qi Zhou’s group will also experiment with uploading dynamic NFTs and social medias.
Arbitrum Nova, a blockchain developed by Arbitrum and a key Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution. Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Novi mainnets account for 53.22% of the aggregated TVL of all L2 Apps as of January 2023.
Arbitrum’s closest competitor, Optimism hosts 28% TVL.
