Effort
A few months

Governments increasingly block access to archived web content. A decentralized network could distribute mirrors across jurisdictions.

Create open-source software that lets users volunteer bandwidth to host fragments of archived sites, making takedowns impractical.

NGOs and media organizations would pay for reliable access to historical records in censored regions.

Start with a simple CLI tool that connects to existing networks like IPFS.

Risk: Legal gray area regarding copyrighted content in archives.
