A Decentralized Blockchain Database and DApp Platform for the New Digital EconomyBitcoin was originally ideated as a peer-to-peer electronic decentralized payment system, based on a public ledger or blockchain. Developers soon realized that the scope of blockchain extended much beyond a modest payment service. Vitalik Buterin viewed it as a platform on which decentralized applications (DApps) could be written using smart contracts, and brought Ethereum to life, which ushered in a new era of blockchain projects. Another application of blockchain technology that has gained ground recently is as distributed data systems. Just like we use centralized data systems like Google Cloud and Amazon AWS, with some optimization, blockchain can be used as a decentralized database. V Systems is a (...)

A state of the art of decentralized web — Part 44. DatabasesThis is the fourth and last chapter of a series about web decentralization. As we have seen in the previous chapter, the #blockchain and smart contracts are great to store records for some specific use cases (like financial transactions), but they are not going to replace your whole #database. Here we are going to focus on distributed and decentralized databases: What are the current candidates and how do they compare each other. Then we will conclude this series and step back on what we have learned.SQL, that good old friend!Series articlesIntroductionFile storageBlockchain and smart contractsDatabasesIntroductionFor once, let’s start with a theorem — the CAP theorem:The CAP theorem states that it is impossible for a distributed (...)

Photo by Ander Burdain on UnsplashA paradigm shift is happening that will change the way companies store, compute and transmit data. This shift will give birth to a plethora of new opportunities, including solutions to the most persistent problems faced by big tech companies and users alike. This article will explore one such opportunity — the creation of the first truly decentralized graph database. In addition to being scalable, cost-effective, and secure, this technology will allow users to manipulate and retrieve their data in a trustless, permissionless way.This is not another story complaining about large technology companies violating data ethics. Rather it seeks to empathize with both users and companies and understand why they act the way they do, from economical, social and (...)
