What are DeFi players most afraid of? Incidents like exchange outages or domain hijacking occasionally make headlines. So some people have thought of using Walrus Sites to host frontend pages—by uploading HTML and JS code onto the chain, then resolving through SuiNS, in theory creating an "indefinitely open" entry point. It sounds quite appealing.
But it's not that simple. Maintaining a decentralized frontend is much more complicated than traditional web pages. You not only need to re-upload Blob data but also update pointers on the chain. This is an ongoing task; it can't be a one-time fix.
The question is: what if the development team slacks off? If the frontend version doesn't keep up with smart contract iterations, users will encounter failures during operations—this is quite common. In short, the stability of a decentralized frontend ultimately depends on the developers' sense of responsibility.
My advice is: only consider a decentralized frontend as the main entry point if you're sure the project team has a long-term maintenance commitment and the code is fully open source and verifiable. Otherwise, it's at best a backup emergency measure. After all, this technology is still in the exploration stage, so there's no need to be overly optimistic.
