The dominance of Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets may soon face disruption from a new player born on the blockchain.
Fileverse, the Ethereum-based productivity startup, has released dSheets—a decentralised spreadsheet platform designed for the internet-native age.

Users can access dSheets instantly by typing dsheets.new, echoing the launch style of Fileverse’s earlier document tool, dDocs.
This new spreadsheet platform aims to offer a powerful alternative for managing data and capital flows—outside the control of traditional tech giants.
dSheets isn’t just a basic replica of Google Sheets.
It combines traditional spreadsheet functions with crypto-native capabilities, including querying smart contracts and executing onchain transactions.
The tool also supports live collaboration, private data sharing, and advanced automation—all without compromising decentralisation.
Users can pull in data from platforms like Dune Analytics, fetch transactions from Etherscan, or even connect with prediction markets like Polymarket.
A promotional clip from Fileverse showed a user filtering Ethereum transactions to view activity from Vitalik Buterin on a specific date—demonstrating both utility and transparency.
Fileverse emphasises privacy across its products.
Unlike Google or Microsoft’s spreadsheet tools, dSheets doesn’t store any user data.
There are no accounts or centralised logins.
dSheets stores no user data and offers end-to-end encryption alongside ZK-authentication, enabling secure and private online collaboration.
For those wanting to share their data, the tool also allows storage via IPFS, making documents accessible to the wider community.
Fileverse wrote in their announcement post on X,
"Spreadsheets are the backbone of millions of databases & trillions of $ of global capital movements.
They are the most used reactive functional programming language in the world… YET, a duo-poly of proprietary, big tech sh**t software has choked the market for the past 40 years. dSheets changes that."
Currently in version 0.1, dSheets is already live across Ethereum mainnet, Base L2, and Gnosis Chain, powered by Fileverse’s own middleware layer.
Users can expect weekly updates as the team rapidly builds out new features and solicits community feedback.
The project is part of a wider mission to create decentralised alternatives to familiar tools.
Back in 2023, Fileverse secured $1.5 million in pre-seed funding led by Gnosis Chain and VC firm Factor to support this vision.
Fileverse is betting on a future where internet users shift from relying on proprietary tools to owning their workflows entirely.
dSheets might not immediately replace Excel or Google Sheets, but its privacy model, crypto-native integrations, and open infrastructure pose a challenge to business as usual.
As data becomes more personal, programmable, and permissionless, the idea of a spreadsheet that can operate within the blockchain world makes a lot of sense.
If spreadsheets are indeed the engine behind much of the world’s data and finance, perhaps it’s time they moved beyond the walled gardens of Silicon Valley.
