Mastering Blockchain
Third Edition

Chapter 2, Decentralization
Outline 2

• Decentralization using blockchain 

• Methods of decentralization 

• Routes to decentralization 

• Blockchain and full ecosystem decentralization 

• Pertinent terminology 

• Platforms for decentralization 

• Innovative trends 
Defining decentralization  3
Decentralization using blockchain  4
Differences between distributed and decentralized systems  5

Distributed Decentralized
Methods of decentralization  6

• Disintermediation 

• Contest-driven decentralization 
How to decentralize  7

• What is being decentralized? 

• What level of decentralization is required? 

• What blockchain is used? 

• What security mechanism is used?


Blockchain and full ecosystem decentralization  8

This model illustrates how a full


decentralized ecosystem could work. It
includes:
• Communication

• Storage 

• Computing power

• Identity and wealth


Decentralized applications  9

• Decentralized Applications (DApps) can be categorized into Type 1 (run on their own
dedicated blockchain), Type 2 (use an existing public blockchain), or Type 3 (use the
protocols of Type 2 DApps) 

• Requirements of a DApp 
• Fully open source

• Operations must be cryptographically secured

• Stored on a public ledger

• Tokens to be generated under a consensus mechanism


Design of a DApp  10

Traditional client server model

Decentralized application
DO, DAO, DAC, DAS, DApp 11

The table highlights some key properties of some different types of decentralized entities;
Decentralized Organizations (DOs), Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs),
Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs), Decentralized Autonomous Societies
(DASes), and DApps
Platforms for decentralization  12

• Ethereum 

• MaidSafe 

• Lisk 

• EOS 
Innovative trends  13

• Decentralized web 
• Web 1: the original World Wide Web

• Web 2: the era when more service-oriented and web-hosted applications started
to emerge
• Web 3: the vision of the decentralized internet or web

• Decentralized identity 

• Decentralized finance (DeFi)


14

Exercise

• How can decentralization impact finance? Consider how blockchain technology could be
implemented in existing financial processes.
Summary 15

In this presentation we:


• Defined the concept of decentralization.

• Introduced DApps, applications based on a decentralized architecture. 

• Considered decentralization from the blockchain perspective.

• Looked at some key features of DAOs, DACs, and Dapps, among other
decentralized entities.
• Explored some innovative trends.
