Singapore, Singapore, December 18th, 2024/Chainwire/--NFTMozaic, the newest project to hit the Polkadot ecosystem, has been awarded a Decentralized Futures Grant by the Web3 Foundation to establish Polkadot as the leading ecosystem for NFT-related projects and initiatives. What is NFTMozaic? NFTMozaic aims to redefine the NFT landscape by aligning and defining one common vision of success for NFTs in the Polkadot ecosystem. With the support of a Decentralized Futures grant, NFTMozaic will play a pivotal role in driving NFT growth and adoption across the Polkadot network, ultimately becoming the go-to Polkadot NFT alliance hub for projects. NFTMozaic will focus on four strategic pillars: Governance, Technical Development, Business Development, and Marketing initiatives. Unique Network, the first NFT parachain on Polkadot since 2021, is the core initiator of NFTMozaic, aiming to expand opportunities, drive NFT innovation, and work towards a path to decentralization. Since its initial inception, Unique Network’s Co-Founder Alexandar Mitrovich introduced NFTMozaic (previously known as the NFT Collective) in November 2023 – with the goal of “creating the common front to represent Polkadot NFT interests and improve the traction for everyone”. By leveraging the superior technology of Polkadot and Substrate, Unique Network has been able to achieve the fastest NFT mint of 100,000 NFTs in under 19 minutes. In addition, the team launched a test developer environment for developers and parachains to test NFT transfers via NFT XCM (Cross-Chain NFTs). NFTMozaic will work alongside projects and parachains within the ecosystem to drive the success of NFTs on Polkadot — collaborating with key Polkadot Builders and Developers, Web3 Foundation, Parity, OpenGov experts, and community agents. In the coming weeks, NFTMozaic will have one-to-one talks and discussions with NFT projects to further align with their goals, current strengths, and challenges. Vision for 2025 As NFTMozaic gains momentum, its goals for 2025 include creating a unified technical toolset for NFT developers, increasing the number of NFT-focused dApps and user engagement within the ecosystem, and curating a clear marketing narrative for Polkadot NFTs. Alexander Mitrovich, co-founder at Unique Network, says: We’ve been heavily focused on creating a stronger message and a unified NFT front on Polkadot for over a year, and we’re excited to now introduce NFTMozaic as the go-to alliance hub for everyone in the Polkadot ecosystem. Driven by NFT experts and created for you. About NFTMozaic NFTMozaic plans to build a comprehensive framework to improve the experience for developers, projects, and users in the Polkadot NFT space – serving as a single point of contact for new projects looking to integrate NFTs into the ecosystem.

NFTMozaic Secures Web3 Foundation Grant To Unite And Elevate Polkadot's NFT Ecosystem

For decades, fútbol’s ecosystem has upheld a status quo that leaves fans disconnected—without a voice, a stake, or a meaningful way to be part of the game they love. Despite fútbol’s global popularity, there has been no unified platform that truly empowers fans or brings them closer to the sport in transformative ways. Founded by visionary builders from Uruguay and Argentina, 0xFútbol is changing the game. By leveraging blockchain technology, they are creating a digital hub for the world’s 4 billion fútbol fans—a place where they can connect, compete, and even own a piece of fútbol’s future. 0xFútbol transforms watchers into owners, redefining what it means to be a fútbol fan in the modern era. From watchers to owners The fútbol community is vast, yet fragmented. 0xFútbol’s mission is to bring it together by delivering engaging experiences that resonate with every fan. From games to tools, every product is a step toward building a thriving, interconnected community. 0xFútbol recently acquired MetaSoccer, the first fútbol manager game, and has been actively working to improve and expand its features. Now in its private beta phase, MetaSoccer has already captivated over 40,000 fans with its innovative approach to managing teams and competing using blockchain-based assets. Alongside MetaSoccer, 0xFútbol is developing additional products like Fútbol PM, a prediction market where fans can showcase their knowledge, and Wonderkid, a hyper-casual Telegram game designed for quick, competitive fun. Every new fan strengthens the community. With each voice added, the collective power of fútbol fans grows, paving the way to shake up the status quo. Together, 0xFútbol isn’t just building products—it’s building a movement. “Imagine millions of fútbol fans united in one ecosystem. The energy, the culture, the shared passion—this is the future 0xFútbol is building. It’s a future where fans actively shape the game they love, not just watch from the sidelines.” Says Agu Rodríguez, CEO. $FUTBOL Presale with XDC Network In a significant milestone, the XDC Network has joined 0xFútbol as a strategic investor, recognizing the platform’s potential to transform fútbol through blockchain. This partnership represents a major step forward in 0xFútbol’s journey to create a unified and interactive fútbol ecosystem. As part of this collaboration, 0xFútbol will host an exclusive presale for the XDC community starting on December 16th. This presale offers early supporters a chance to acquire the $FUTBOL token, which powers the entire 0xFútbol ecosystem. The $FUTBOL token is more than just a digital asset—it’s the backbone of the platform. It enables users to access key products like MetaSoccer and Fútbol PM, participate in governance, and unlock future opportunities as the ecosystem grows. With $FUTBOL, fans are empowered to move from spectatorship to ownership, shaping the future of fútbol while engaging with innovative products and experiences. This collaboration with XDC highlights the growing recognition of 0xFútbol’s potential to revolutionize how fútbol fans interact with the sport. By combining blockchain innovation with fútbol culture, 0xFútbol is positioning itself as a leader in the Web3 fútbol space. Join us now!

Abstract: The Lumoz Node Network and MOZ staking system officially launched on December 13, 2024, at 16:00 UTC+8. Opportunities for the community and node users to participate in the zkVerifier network and MOZ staking are now fully open. By running zkVerifier Nodes, staking MOZ, and delegating licenses, users can collectively share 25% of the total MOZ token mining rewards! With the successful launch of the mainnet and completion of the TGE, Lumoz has received widespread acclaim from community members and Ethereum ecosystem users alike. To date, over one million users have checked or claimed their esMOZ airdrops, and more than 100,000 OG NFTs have been burned during the esMOZ-to-MOZ redemption process. Additionally, MOZ tokens have been listed on major exchanges, including Bybit, KuCoin, and Gate.io. Today, we are excited to announce that Lumoz’s node network is now open for registration, along with the activation of the MOZ staking system. Any user can earn substantial rewards by staking MOZ or using a Node License. According to Lumoz’s tokenomics, 25% of MOZ tokens are allocated to the zkVerifier network. Based on the latest CoinMarketCap price, the total zkVerifier rewards are valued at $90 million. Register your node and start validation services now to secure your share of these significant rewards early! Participation in zkVerifier mining is simple and efficient. Any user can easily join by staking MOZ, registering a zkVerifier License, or running a node. Whether you are a technical user or a regular investor, you can contribute to network development based on your preferences and enjoy substantial rewards. Join the zkVerifier network now: https://zkverifier.lumoz.org/ Quick Overview of zkVerifier Node: The Lumoz zkVerifier Node, as a key component of the Lumoz architecture, is responsible for verifying the ZKPs generated by the zkProver. It ensures the correctness and validity of proofs submitted to the chain. The zkVerifier efficiently processes proofs, reducing operational costs and gas consumption. How to Join zkVerifier Node and Earn Over $250 Million in MOZ Rewards? Stake MOZ
Run zkVerifier Node
Delegate zkVerifier Node License Stake MOZ Staking MOZ is a key step in participating in the zkVerifier Node. The network allocates mining rewards based on the amount staked and the node’s performance. The staking mechanism locks tokens to provide higher security for the network, while also incentivizing participants to hold MOZ for the long term. Users can adjust the staked amount at any time, offering flexibility in asset management. Whether you are running a node or delegating a License, staking MOZ will provide long-term rewards. Stake MOZ: https://zkverifier.lumoz.org/staking Run zkVerifier Node Running a zkVerifier Node is the direct way to become a core part of the Lumoz network's validation layer. As a node operator, you will be responsible for verifying zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) computation tasks, participating in network consensus, and receiving 25% of the total MOZ supply as a reward from network incentives. To run a zkVerifier Node, the following requirements must be met: Users need to hold at least one node or node License. The License is the official recognition of zkVerifier Node status and is a necessary condition for running a zkVerifier Node. Hardware Requirements
CPU: 2 CPU Cores, x86/X64 Processor
RAM: 4 GB RAM
Storage: 60 GB Disk Space
Bandwidth: Stable Internet Connection Stake esMOZ: Node operators must stake a certain amount of esMOZ tokens to ensure the stability and security of the node.
Download the command-line client to run the node: https://github.com/Lumoz-protocol/Lumoz-zkverifier-node-cli/releases/tag/mainnet-v0.0.1 Delegate zkVerifier License If you are unable to run a zkVerifier Node directly, you can choose to delegate your zkVerifier License to other node operators. This way, you don’t need to bear hardware and operational costs, yet you can still earn a share of the node rewards. Flexible Participation: Users without technical requirements can still join the network ecosystem by delegating and sharing the zkVerifier rewards.

Users of zkVerifier Nodes will share 25% of the total MOZ token mining rewards, which is one of the most significant incentives in the Lumoz tokenomics model. Lumoz’s zkVerifier Node efficiently executes ZKP computations to validate transactions and data within the network. It aligns closely with the Snarkification process of ETH 3.0, supporting Ethereum’s transaction verification in a more efficient and decentralized environment. Through this synergy, Lumoz not only enhances the technical performance of Ethereum 3.0 but also brings more participants and ecosystem collaboration opportunities to its own network.

The RIF token is one of the cornerstones of the Rootstock ecosystem, the first and biggest EVM-compatible Bitcoin sidechain. Designed as a utility token, RIF empowers users, developers, and builders to unlock the full potential of the Bitcoin ecosystem including decentralized governance, stablecoins, and improved user experience. What is the RIF Token? RIF is a utility token designed to unlock more opportunities on Bitcoin through Rootstock, Bitcoin’s leading sidechain. RIF is designed to address the value capture challenge faced by Bitcoin builders. While RIF itself is not a governance token, it enables governance functionalities in the Rootstock ecosystem. By staking RIF, users can mint stRIF; the governance token of the RootstockCollective DAO used for voting, proposal creation, reward mechanism, and participation in DAO governance. The role of RIF token expands beyond governance enablement, as it is also used by multiple protocols on Rootstock to unlock use cases that increase user engagement and adoption. How RIF Works: Technical Foundations At its core, the RIF token is built on the ERC677 token standard, which enhances the widely used ERC20 standard. This allows RIF to streamline token transfers, simplifying and reducing the steps for developers and users to interact with smart contracts. RIF is found in 3 different forms; RIF on mainnet, tRIF on testnet, and stRIF. Token

Staking RIF Note: stRIF is the staked version of RIF. It’s a new token that It is 1:1 pegged to RIF and is used to gain voting rights, create and influence proposals, and participate in the governance of the RootstockCollective DAO. RIF Token Use Cases RIF's value isn't merely theoretical - the value is real and extends deep into practical uses shaping Bitcoin, such as: Governance and Staking The staked version of RIF, stRIF, is the main governance token in the RootstockCollective DAO, giving stRIF holders voting power within this DAO. The RootstockCollective DAO accelerates Bitcoin innovation by providing the mechanism for decentralized governance, ensuring builders are rewarded and championed for their work. Via stRIF, users can actively take part in the Rootstock economy and value creation by deciding which grant applications should receive funding, and supporting projects they believe will have a positive contribution to the Rootstock and Bitcoin ecosystem. \Moreover, with the launch of Collective Rewards, stRIF holders who actively participate in the program, both builders and their backers, can earn rewards in the form of Bitcoin and RIF. Stablecoins The USDRIF stablecoin is a RIF-backed stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the USD. It offers a completely decentralized stablecoin solution to make cross-border payments faster and cheaper. For example, Andean Wide, a Chile-based payment platform, utilizes USDRIF to reduce the cost of international remittances. Improved UX The RIF token has a unique use case through enabling the minting of an RNS name. RNS replaces long crypto addresses with human-readable names, making immediate transactions and better user experiences possible. The technology also supports digital identity solutions to help onboard new users more easily. Through these, and other use cases, RIF addresses a significant challenge in the Bitcoin ecosystem; value capture. Bitcoin’s design, while robust, doesn’t include a native mechanism to incentivize builders. Rootstock addresses this by enabling BTC to function as gas within its sidechain, but again, the ecosystem needs something more to support developers and their backers long-term. That’s where RIF comes in to bridge the gap by: Incentivizing builders to create applications that enhance Bitcoin’s utility.
Providing rewards and governance rights to participants, ensuring sustainability. Learn more about RootstockCollective and its reward program here. Now that you know what you can do with RIF, it’s also important to understand how you can get it and where you can keep it. Getting and Storing RIF RIF is available across a range of centralized and decentralized exchanges, along with meta-aggregators and cross-chain liquidity protocols, including: Centralized Exchanges: Binance, Gate.io, Mexc.com, and others.

This is likely one of the most polemical issues we’ll find in the cypherpunk arena. Do you think murder is fine, under the right circumstances? At least we know that 54 countries think it’s a fair punishment for the most dangerous criminals. Jim Bell, a renowned crypto-anarchist, seems to think it’s justified against hated and corrupted political figures, and that’s how he came up with Assassination Politics (AP) —a would-be private assassination market. But let’s talk a bit about James Dalton Bell first. He was born in 1958 in Akron, Ohio (US), and later attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he earned a degree in chemistry. After graduating, he worked as an electrical engineer at Intel before starting his own company, SemiDisk Systems, in 1982, which specialized in computer storage devices. When the company closed in 1992, Bell developed a strong dislike for financial and tax issues —which would prove almost prophetical for him years later. Politically, he leaned toward anarcho-libertarian views and was involved with the Libertarian Party. His growing distrust of government led him to explore bold and controversial ideas, including the concept of a very unique prediction market. Assassination Politics This essay, published in 1996, outlines a controversial idea where people could anonymously contribute money to “predict” the death of specific government officials. It would function by leveraging encryption and digital cash to create a highly secure and anonymous prediction market. Participants would make predictions about the death of a listed target by submitting an encrypted guess, accompanied by a payment in digital cash. The prediction would be encrypted twice: the outer layer containing the digital cash is decrypted by the organization or administrators behind the market, while the inner layer, holding the prediction details, remains secure and known only to the predictor. If the prediction comes true, the predictor submits the decryption key, proving the accuracy of their guess, and receives the reward through an encrypted and untraceable digital cash transaction. Then, they can “gift” this reward to anyone —including an assassin. The entire process ensures that neither the organization nor any other party can trace the identity of the predictor or link it to the outcome, effectively safeguarding all parties involved from legal and investigative scrutiny. All of this was hypothetical, though. There wasn’t the proper technology for it back then. With the advent of smart contracts and cryptocurrencies, such a system could theoretically be implemented more securely today. A smart contract could automatically pay out a reward to someone who successfully predicts a specific event, like the death of a targeted official. The smart contract would ensure that no one needs to know who the predictor is, as the entire process would be automated and anonymous. A modern attempt to bring Bell’s idea to life was the Assassination Market, created by a pseudonymous figure known as Kuwabatake Sanjuro, but it wasn’t quite the same system, and not a prediction market at all. This platform allowed users to contribute bitcoins toward bounties on the heads of government officials. It’s unclear if it ever worked. Politics of Destruction The economics author Robert Murphy debated Bell’s proposal in his own essay, titled Politics of Destruction, published in 2002. Murphy argued that, despite its technological appeal, Assasination Politics is fundamentally flawed and impractical. His claims about administrators potentially pocketing funds or deceiving participants could be easily contented today with the existence of smart contracts and decentralized networks. However, Murphy also emphasizes the potential societal dangers of AP. If implemented, the system could lead to widespread violence, as it doesn’t limit targets to oppressive politicians but could be used against anyone, including ordinary individuals. This would create a chaotic environment where assassination becomes commonplace, undermining core values of property rights and personal safety that are crucial for a stable society —even for crypto-anarchists. In essence, Murphy contends that even if technical challenges were addressed, AP's ideological implications make it a perilous idea. He believes that its adoption could lead to the downfall of modern civilization and contradict the libertarian principles of a just and free society, as it would foster a world where violence and insecurity overshadow respect for individual rights. Bell’s Legal Saga As anyone could imagine, this essay put Bell on the radar of the authorities. Following an investigation by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 1997, Bell faced charges of tax evasion and misuse of Social Security numbers, leading to an 11-month prison sentence. After his release in 2000, Bell claimed widespread government corruption in his case, initiating a lawsuit in 2003, which triggered further legal complications. He was rearrested on charges of harassment and stalking of federal agents, resulting in a decade-long imprisonment. Bell's subsequent lawsuits alleged severe procedural misconduct by federal authorities. He accused the government of orchestrating an assault by a fellow inmate to intimidate him and claimed that court records were falsified to obstruct justice. Bell also protested the legality of surveillance measures, alleging that the government planted a GPS tracker on his car without proper warrants (which was proven right in the trial), violating his constitutional rights. His defense contended that these actions were part of a broader scheme to undermine his legal and civil liberties. Bell was eventually released in March 2012. All these issues haven’t stopped his AP activities however. In 2017, he announced the “Jim Bell Project” at the Paralelni Polis convention in Prague. He plans “to adopt a new [AP-like] system to completely eliminate all wars, all militaries, all taxes, and all government-sponsored violence,” with the help of worldwide volunteers and donors. Prediction Markets Assassination Politics was frequently discussed by cypherpunks, with mixed opinions. Trying to discern if this would be a good or a terrible idea could likely take a whole book, so we’ll leave it as food for thought. However, it’s important to note that prediction markets on decentralized platforms, like the one described by Bell, actually exist already. Even if the most common predictions don’t involve anyone’s death. Prediction markets in crypto are like online betting pools where people place bets on the outcomes of future events using cryptocurrency. Imagine a marketplace where you can wager on (non-deadly) things like election candidates, football results, or price breakthroughs. Participants buy and sell shares or tokens linked to different outcomes, and the prices of these shares reflect the collective predictions of the market. The idea is that the wisdom of the crowd can provide accurate forecasts, while the platform provides rewards to its users. Obyte, indeed, has its own decentralized prediction market based on bonding curves: Prophet. On this platform, participants are given options to bet on various event outcomes, such as Yes, No, or, for some events, Draw, each represented by a distinct token with an initial worth. These tokens can be traded, but their values fluctuate to reflect the changing probabilities as the event approaches and the market incorporates new information. In addition, users can also participate in liquidity mining. Common bets on Prophet include price predictions and football games, and the whole process eliminates middlemen. Maybe it’s not quite like what Bell had in mind, but we can still bet privately for a whole world of possibilities. Read more from Cypherpunks Write Code series:

Following an investigation by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 1997, Bell faced charges of tax evasion and misuse of Social Security numbers, leading to an 11-month prison sentence. After his release in 2000, Bell claimed widespread government corruption in his case, initiating a lawsuit in 2003, which triggered further legal complications. He was rearrested on charges of harassment and stalking of federal agents, resulting in a decade-long imprisonment. Bell's subsequent lawsuits alleged severe procedural misconduct by federal authorities. He accused the government of orchestrating an assault by a fellow inmate to intimidate him and claimed that court records were falsified to obstruct justice. Bell also protested the legality of surveillance measures, alleging that the government planted a GPS tracker on his car without proper warrants (which was proven right in the trial), violating his constitutional rights. His defense contended that these actions were part of a broader scheme to undermine his legal and civil liberties. Bell's subsequent lawsuits alleged severe procedural misconduct by federal authorities. alleged alleged was proven right was proven right Bell was eventually released in March 2012. All these issues haven’t stopped his AP activities however. In 2017, he announced the “ Jim Bell Project ” at the Paralelni Polis convention in Prague. He plans “to adopt a new [AP-like] system to completely eliminate all wars, all militaries, all taxes, and all government-sponsored violence,” with the help of worldwide volunteers and donors. Jim Bell Project Jim Bell Project Prediction Markets Assassination Politics was frequently discussed by cypherpunks, with mixed opinions . Trying to discern if this would be a good or a terrible idea could likely take a whole book, so we’ll leave it as food for thought. However, it’s important to note that prediction markets on decentralized platforms, like the one described by Bell, actually exist already. Even if the most common predictions don’t involve anyone’s death. with mixed opinions with mixed opinions Prediction markets in crypto are like online betting pools where people place bets on the outcomes of future events using cryptocurrency. Imagine a marketplace where you can wager on (non-deadly) things like election candidates, football results, or price breakthroughs. Participants buy and sell shares or tokens linked to different outcomes, and the prices of these shares reflect the collective predictions of the market. The idea is that the wisdom of the crowd can provide accurate forecasts, while the platform provides rewards to its users. Prediction markets in crypto are like online betting pools where people place bets on the outcomes of future events using cryptocurrency. Obyte , indeed, has its own decentralized prediction market based on bonding curves: Prophet . On this platform, participants are given options to bet on various event outcomes, such as Yes, No, or, for some events, Draw, each represented by a distinct token with an initial worth. These tokens can be traded, but their values fluctuate to reflect the changing probabilities as the event approaches and the market incorporates new information. In addition, users can also participate in liquidity mining. Obyte Obyte Prophet Prophet Common bets on Prophet include price predictions and football games, and the whole process eliminates middlemen. Maybe it’s not quite like what Bell had in mind, but we can still bet privately for a whole world of possibilities. Read more from Cypherpunks Write Code series: Tim May & Crypto-anarchism

In the crypto world, open-source is often heard or written along with ‘decentralized’ in many applications and ecosystems. Maybe you’ve interpreted it as if they’re free to use, and/or using cryptocurrency somehow. That’s not exactly the case, though. Open-source is a thing, and decentralized is another. Cryptocurrencies are also a separate item. They can converge, but they also imply different features. Let’s start with open-source. This one refers to software whose source code is available to check by anyone. If its license allows it, they can also modify, participate, copy, or distribute this source code, which is no more than a set of computer instructions that comprise a program. The open-source model promotes collaboration and transparency, allowing users and developers to improve the software and adapt it to their needs. On the other hand, a piece of software (including cryptocurrencies) could be open-source, but not decentralized. In this context, decentralized software is the one that operates on multiple nodes without a single central authority. Instead, it relies on a network of independent nodes or computers to manage and verify transactions or operations. Ideally, it should be built to resist external censorship and manipulation, even by their own creators or any other actors. Only Open-Source Open-source software, like OpenOffice or Firefox, offers a lot of flexibility and transparency because its source code is freely available —and it’s often free for users. Everyone with coding knowledge can participate to improve, customize, that particular application. For example, if you’re skilled in programming, you can read the code and tweak OpenOffice here to better suit your needs or fix bugs for everyone else. You can also see exactly how the software works and ensure there are no hidden issues. Programmers collaborate on open-source projects using repositories like GitHub, where they can contribute code, track changes, and discuss improvements. However, being open-source but not decentralized means OpenOffice and Firefox still relies on a central authority or a specific organization for development and updates. This centralization can limit how changes are made and who controls the direction of the software. While it’s true that open-source software allows for forks—where anyone can copy the code and create their own version—a single entity in a centralized system still holds significant influence over the original project. Forks give developers the freedom to diverge and innovate independently, but the original software’s central authority often retains the majority of the community and user base. This means the controlling entity can still guide the direction of the most popular version, while forks may struggle to gain traction or support unless they offer substantial improvements or cater to specific needs. In decentralized ecosystems, despite the control of the code still being in the hands of a group of main developers, forks often gain significant traction because the community, not a central authority, decides which version of the project aligns better with their goals and values. This can also apply to all open-source forks, not just in decentralized-like systems, but the main difference relies on the network, which is distributed among many parties. Thanks to that, the forked versions can often gain even more independence and traction because the network effects are distributed. This makes it easier for alternative versions to thrive as entirely new ecosystems, sometimes creating parallel projects rather than just alternative software versions. For example, Ethereum Classic (ETC) forked from Ethereum (ETH) after a disagreement over how to handle a major hack. While Ethereum went on to reverse the hack, Ethereum Classic retained the original, "immutable" chain. Both versions attracted their own communities based on differing beliefs about decentralization and chain integrity. Open-Source & Decentralized Open-source software that also enables a decentralized network combines three powerful features: transparency, collaboration, and distributed control. When software is both open-source and decentralization-focused, it means the source code is freely available for anyone to view and modify, while also operating on a network without a central authority. This approach offers several benefits. For instance, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Obyte are great examples. They are open-source, so anyone can examine their code and contribute to their development. At the same time, they operate in a mostly decentralized way, meaning no single entity controls them. This structure boosts resilience since the network relies on numerous independent nodes to validate transactions and maintain the system. Users benefit from increased transparency, as they can see exactly how the software operates, and greater control, as the software was made to be censorship-resistant and ultimate decisions are made collectively by the community of miners in the case of Bitcoin, or by users themselves in the case of Obyte, rather than a central authority, be it a company, or any other organization. Now, even if most decentralization-focused software, like cryptocurrencies, have their own organizations behind (companies and NGOs) to maintain and improve their systems, the piece of code itself must enable the existence of a network resistant to central manipulation to qualify as ‘decentralization-focused’. This way, the creators, groups, or middlemen involved in this kind of software shouldn’t be able to interfere with its general use. More Decentralization Of course, there are some pieces of software that aim to decentralize systems more than others, and this applies to crypto-ecosystems as well. Cryptocurrencies vary in their level of decentralization based on their underlying technology and governance. Some, like Bitcoin, rely on a large network of miners who create blocks and full nodes who validate transactions and secure the system. However, the degree of decentralization can be influenced by factors like the concentration of mining power or the control exerted by a few major entities. Obyte takes decentralization a step further with its minerless DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) system. Unlike blockchains that depend on miners or “validators” to approve transactions, Obyte uses a different approach where there are no barriers between transaction making and transaction approval: every participant is its own “miner”. This design removes the need for middlemen, which means there’s no single point of control or failure. It makes the system more resilient to censorship and manipulation, as power is really distributed across the network. With no central authority or powerful parties to influence, Obyte ensures that transactions are never blocked, promoting a truly decentralized and censorship-resistant environment.
