Градитељ Цардано ИОГ, Универзитет у Единбургу лансира први индекс децентрализације блокчејна на свету

Input Output Global (IOG), the builder of the decentralized finance (дефи) цриптоцурренци пројекат Цардано (ADA), has unveiled the world’s first блоцкцхаин decentralization index. 

The tool, dubbed the Edinburgh Decentralization Index (EDI), is a partnership between IOG and the University of Edinburgh that aims to establish a transparent mechanism for rating the decentralization level of public blockchain initiatives, IOG рекао in a blog post published on November 18. 

Notably, the EDI will work as a live tracker backed by continued ‘calculated and reviewed methodology’ under the supervision of a team from the University of Edinburgh. 

How the EDI works 

In establishing a project’s decentralization level, the EDI will reportedly focus on risk factors associated with the crypto space. According to IOG, the decentralization review process seeks to consider crypto market volatility and innovations in the blockchain space. 

According to Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, establishing the index is part of an initiative aimed at empowering users and investors, 

“Decentralization is at the heart of what makes blockchain технологија so unique and so potentially revolutionary. By decentralizing a system, we’re putting power back into the hands of everyday users and investors. What we’re currently missing is universally accepted industry standards which define to what extent projects are decentralized,” said Hoskinson. 

In the end, the EDI seeks to preserve the principles of blockchain technology, promoting transparency, censorship, resilience, and integrity as benefits of decentralization.

Over the years, most projects launched in the crypto sector have been marketed as decentralized with no specific industry measure. In this case, IOG stated that the EDI could lay the groundwork for classifying cryptocurrency projects. 

Hoskinson’s frustrations 

At the same time, as per a Finbold извештај, Hoskinson expressed his frustration on projects rated as decentralized, yet they carry centralization principles. 

„Уморан сам од рада у индустрији у којој свака особа каже; ми смо децентрализовани. Шта то значи? Немамо начин мерења. То је као да кажемо да смо успешни. <…> Ово су само надувене. Ово су само речи. Проблем је у томе што је децентрализација мерило отпорности. То је мерење контроле. То је мерило поузданости и зависи од начина на који су протоколи дизајнирани“, рекао је он. 

In this case, Hoskinson noted that decentralized projects should be rated on metrics guided by resilience, control, and reliability.
