Deploys front ends to IPFS builds and points ENS at them but finds APIs and RPCs remain centralized, exposing projects to shutdown and the same injection vectors that caused the $120M Badger theft and Google Tag Manager compromises. Proposes a small lambda script specs language that compiles to bytecode, a single audited universal runtime to build transactions from user inputs, and an automated UI generator to produce minimal, verifiable front ends; testnet proofs exist and integrations with Optimism and a private beta are underway.
