- Enter an IPFS CID or gateway URL to play decentralized videos using arkA MVP client.
- Phase-2 announcement video is stored on IPFS and playable through any gateway or client.
- Official arkA demo link auto-loads the video: https://baconpantsuppercut.github.io/arkA/?cid=bafybeigxoxlscrc73aatxasygtxrjsjcwzlvts62gyr76ir5edk5fedq3q
- Raw IPFS gateway links (IPFS.io, Cloudflare-IPFS, Pinata) resolve the same video via decentralized storage.
- Proves video is not owned/stored by any platform, is globally addressable via CID, and multiple gateways can fetch the same content.
- arkA decouples client from storage, enabling a fully decentralized, censorship-resistant workflow.
- First full, public, end-to-end demonstration of arkA decentralized video protocol.
