    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? Decentralized and distributed networks are fundamentally different topologies. Each of them has its own advantages, depending on the tasks performed
    As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions.
    Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? Everyone has the right to privacy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraph and other messages. This is if we talk about non-commercial use. When used for commercial purposes, privacy can be a very important decision for the future.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? I cannot answer this question with confidence, but at the moment there is no danger, since there are fundamentally different approaches for encoding in the current binary system and in the one used in quantum computers. Centralized systems are vulnerable enough at the moment. so we should at least strive for decentralized systems and look for options for protection when the threat will be evident from quantum computers.
