Website Data Immutability

danger

Once you make a DeWeb website's data immutable, you will never be able to update this version of your website or delete it to recover tokens locked for storage.

Achieving data immutability for a given DeWeb website is done by deleting the bytecode of the smart contract that handles that website. That way, no person or piece of code can ever alter that data again.
