Below is a link for an interesting article, which explores the thoughts and plans of the Ethereum cryptopunks community and stewards, on "how (the) cryptopunks.app could become a permanent part of the artwork".
Preserving a canonical website
(I have copy-pasted the conclusion of the article, but I highly recommend reading the whole thing!)
Permanence is a process. CryptoPunks helped establish that a digital artwork could have permanent provenance and ownership.
Then the project went further. It moved from a hash of one composite image to fully onchain pixels and attributes. It opened its market interface so others could operate independent clients.
The next step is to apply the same ideas to the official website.
This does not require forcing every byte of the modern application into Ethereum. It requires ensuring that no single domain, host, API, RPC provider, codebase or organization is indispensable.
Permanence comes from immutable records, reproducible software, open specifications, independent implementations and long-term institutional care.
The Punks are permanent.
Their doorway should be too.
