Getting started with Drupal Decentralized App using blockchain.

Blockchain arrived as a formidable force and transformed conventional enterprise processes with its distinct traits. It not only solves the problems of centralized control of data and concerns of data integrity in Web 2.0, but it also paved the path for Web 3.0 through decentralization.
Blockchain also revolutionized entrepreneurship by introducing Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) which opens up so many new opportunities for global collaboration and coordination.

Why do we need to decentralize Drupal apps?

1. It shows the history of data manipulation, not just the updated one.
2. Data is decentralized, which provides the authenticity of data as no one can target a single structure
3. Provides a banking alternative and a way to secure personal information for citizens of countries with unstable or underdeveloped governments

Challenges in making Drupal Decentralized

1. PHP does not support WebAssembly so it cannot be used for creating DApps and cannot be launched on a blockchain network.

What is the solution then?

1. The launch of Internet computers becomes a boon for developers and entrepreneurs to deploy their smart contracts. It is one of the fastest general-purpose blockchains to build the future of Web3.
2. It is the fastest blockchain with a finality time of 2 seconds and a query call of 100 ms. Furthermore, on Ethereum, 1GB costs about $5,000,000, and on the Internet Computer, 1GB costs about $3-5, so it is also pocket-friendly.

How can you create decentralized Drupal Apps?

1. We make Drupal as a data center on AWS or Azure server, using it for what it does best which is content management.
2. The DApps and drupal will interact through APIs so that all the updates will be stored on the blockchain.
3. The DApp Backend will perform all the complex operations and third-party integrations, resulting in highly responsive and secure web applications.
4. Once the app is ready it could be launched in the live ICP blockchain.
