Why do you want to run a node in the xx network |
|
What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? | A distributed network is most often managed centrally. A decentralised network, on the other hand, is based on and governed by an ad hoc consensus mechanism, hence less network vulnerability. |

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? | The more privacy the less exploitation by third parties. |
In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems?

It will lead to a loss of efficiency of modern encryption algorithms. |
