# Web3

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/web3/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Develop Web3 applications without having to worry about running infrastructure

Add-on feature

Web3 (also called the distributed web) refers to a set of technologies for hosting content and applications on decentralized networks — where data is stored across many computers rather than on a single server. These networks use consensus protocols to agree on the state of shared data without relying on a central authority.

Note

Enterprise customers can preview this product as a [non-contract service](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/billing/understand/preview-services/), which provides full access, free of metered usage fees, limits, and certain other restrictions.

## Features

[IPFS Gateway](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ipfs-gateway/)

Add-on feature

Provides a read-only, HTTP-accessible interface to the [Interplanetary File System (IPFS)](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ipfs-gateway/concepts/ipfs/).

Use IPFS Gateway

[Ethereum Gateway](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ethereum-gateway/)

Add-on feature

Gives you read and write access to the [Ethereum network](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ethereum-gateway/concepts/ethereum/) without installing any software on your computer.

Use Ethereum Gateway

## Benefits

Cloudflare's Web3 gateways provide HTTP-accessible interfaces to Web3 networks. Instead of running your own IPFS or Ethereum node, you access these networks through Cloudflare, which provides:

* **Ease of access**: Access content from Web3 networks without installing or running any special software.
* **Security**: Get the protection benefits of Cloudflare's global anycast network for [enhanced security ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-thwarts-17-2m-rps-ddos-attack-the-largest-ever-reported/).
* **Reduced maintenance**: Cloudflare — not your developers — maintains and monitors the gateway infrastructure.
* **Reliability**: Cloudflare's global anycast network provides a high level of [reliability and availability ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/network/).
* **Performance**: With data centers in [hundreds of cities worldwide ↗](https://www.cloudflare.com/network/), responses are cached and served from locations close to your end users.
