What is decentralization? How it works?
![]() |
---|
Decentralization refers to the distribution of authority and responsibility away from a central point. In the context of technology, decentralization often refers to the design of systems, networks, or applications that do not rely on a single, central point of control.
There are many different ways that decentralization can be implemented, but some common features include:
Peer-to-peer architecture: In a decentralized system, nodes (devices or servers) communicate and interact directly with each other, rather than through a central server or authority.
Distributed ledger technology: Many decentralized systems use a shared, distributed database, known as a ledger, to store and validate transactions. The ledger is stored and replicated across multiple nodes, making it difficult to alter or tamper with.
Consensus mechanism: Decentralized systems often use a consensus mechanism to ensure that all nodes agree on the state of the system and the validity of transactions. This helps to ensure the integrity and security of the system.
Tokenization: Some decentralized systems use tokens, which are digital assets that represent ownership or a stake in the system. These tokens can be used to incentivize participation and secure the network.
Decentralization has the potential to offer a number of benefits, including greater security, transparency, and resilience. However, it also brings new challenges, such as the need for robust consensus mechanisms and the potential for reduced efficiency compared to centralized systems.
How Steem Blockchain works?
Steem is a decentralized blockchain-based social media platform that rewards users for their contributions. It uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, which means that the more Steem Power a user holds, the more influence they have on the network and the more rewards they can earn for their contributions.
The Steem blockchain is run by a network of witnesses, who are elected by the community to validate transactions and produce new blocks. Steem is designed to be a decentralized platform that is not controlled by any one individual or organization.

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.
that is an informative article about decentralization thanks for sharing it
