  • Storing the index on the blockchain itself isn’t really feasible, but I think you could leverage it as a source of truth for what distributed stores (e.g. torrent, WebDAV, ftp, s3) contain the correct and latest info.

    Tough part is verification. You need a consensus for what is accurate before you add it to the chain. If someone indexes 1000 sites and someone else goes to verify it the sites could’ve changed in that time. Doesn’t mean the proposed data is wrong but how do you separate outdated info from bad info (i.e. data poisoning)?
