    • To undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? The main feature of decentralized networks if to compare with distributed networks is the true decentralization, meaning anyone can join such network and can validate it operates correctly.
