Since the earliest days of bitcoin, decentralization has been key to its value proposition. But it's also been its greatest obstacle. Whether it's the block size debate, or the ethereum classic debacle more broadly, decentralization in public blockchain networks presents significant hurdles to what can seem like straightforward objectives. After seven years of open-source study, decentralized governance remains a little explored and unsolved enigma. But solving it will likely mean going back to the beginning, asking what exactly we mean by 'decentralization'. Do we mean the distribution of....
Most blockchains are decentralized by design. This means the nodes and stakeholders that operate and govern the platform are not concentrated as a single controlling power but instead distributed over numerous self-sovereign actors. This makes them extremely resilient to censorship while ensuring redundancy and resistance against majority attacks. But although decentralization is a central tenet […]
Decentralization has been the theme of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies so far. When Bitcoin was first introduced, the concept of decentralization was just confined to the currency transaction. Even though it's a peer to peer network, where miners contribute their machine's processing power, it was (and still) is being used only to verify transactions. Apart from verifying the transactions, the same shared processing power can be used for a wide range of applications. The concept of using shared computer storage and processing power has been around for a long time, even before Satoshi....
