A spiritual successor to WordPress that solves its plugin security problems

About

Developed by Cloudflare, EmDash is an open-source CMS redesigned from scratch with TypeScript and a serverless architecture to overcome WordPress's structural limitations
Runs each plugin in an isolated sandbox environment, fundamentally blocking plugin vulnerabilities, which accounted for 96% of WordPress site security problems
Has the x402 payment standard built in to support on-demand per-content payments (pay-per-use), providing a monetization structure suited to the era of AI-driven web traffic
Its serverless structure based on Cloudflare Workers scales up and down automatically per request, achieving both cost savings and high-performance processing
Integrates modern features such as AI agent management, Passkey authentication, and an Astro theme structure; a CMS that carries on the spirit of WordPress while being completely rebuilt
