Centralised network vs decentralised network - Which is better?

Earlier in the 90's, there were not many options available to build a network and communicate more frequently and easily. But in today's era, there are a number of choices to choose from which allows the users to build a network and meet their needs and requirements. But one most important consideration is whether the user wants to use a centralised or a decentralised network. 

Difference between centralised and a decentralised network - so that one can make a better choice 


The first and the foremost difference between centralised and decentralised network comes with the question of who dominates the overall network itself. 

As in centralised system - only one authority or administrator holds total control over the network. However, in this system the administrator allows and manages all the data and grants time to time permission as well. 




Whereas decentralised networks are designed in such a manner so that it can be distributed. Each of the nodes in this decentralised network has a separate and independent decision making power (how it connects and interacts with other systems). This network also spreads processing power and function to the other connected servers as well. 


How does a decentralised network work ? 


With the processing power of user devices started to distribute throughout the network, the decentralised network has become more useful and safe to rely on. While this network can hold different degrees of system, which gives the advantage of using multiple independent networks that connect and provide a pool of resources. Because each node which is within the network can work independently that allows it to easily take control over, set their own rules, regarding the data and workload criterias. Next advantage of having a decentralized network is system reliability. As one node gets hacked or goes down then the other ones will remain at work with their own security control and codes. 


In a nutshell, users' needs are the most important factor while making a choice between a centralised and decentralised network. If the user wants to hold the control to the overall system then they should opt for centralised where as decentralised works perfectly ( if the user is ready to implement it and maintain then they can surely take advantage of this system in terms of redundancy and security.

A Complete Bitcoin Guide

  If there is one crypto currency everyone should know about then that one is   bitcoin . So without any further ado, let’s discuss it. What is Cryptocurrency ? Cryptocurrency is a digital asset. The name cryptocurrency comes from the basic fact that all of its transactions are highly encrypted, safe and make the exchange highly secure. Cryptocurrency is not like the other currencies, it is fully decentralised in nature which means the government or central bank has no control over it. Cryptocurrency is equated with precious metals like gold and silver and is finite in nature. How Does Bitcoin Work? Bitcoins are stored in digital wallets on a smartphone or computer. To understand more deeply how cryptocurrency works, we need to dive into these terms first. Blockchain  — blockchain has the capacity to store information in the digital format. Blockchains are well known for their essential role in cryptocurrency systems such as bitcoin. It helps in maintaining a secured reco...

What is the Decentralized Web?

Do you know what is the decentralized web ? The decentralized web is a self-organizing federation of humans & machines that speak many evolving protocols and languages. The internet is amazing but not perfect. The way we shop, the way we learn, the way we engage with one another the internet changed all of that. Here at dWeb.info, we are putting together a directory of websites hosted on the decentralized web. We’ll also be providing regular blog posts, articles, and guides aimed at helping you understand the dWeb. The decentralized web and all the potential it offers awaits.

The Future Of Internet - WEB 3.0

Since the onset of the 1990’s, the internet has become a major part of our lives. Our reliance on the internet has increased exponentially over the years to the point that today almost every aspect of our lives is related to the internet somehow. During this period, the web has also undergone the process of evolution. The internet has been upgrading itself again and again. Just as any new technology becomes old in a matter of just a few years, the internet has to incorporate new technologies and features. This evolution started with the Web 1.0 – it was the commencement of the internet, i.e. the late 80’s. It consisted of just read-only pages or published content . These webpages were created by a very few people. But the beauty of it was that anyone on the globe who had access to the internet could access the content seamlessly. But the disadvantage was that the reader could not interact with the webpage. There were no search engines and the world wide web was not very common. The sec...
