✍️ Something we discussed this week was how blockchain is starting to influence infrastructure markets, especially in the context of the next industrial revolution.
We keep noticing that blockchain is still mostly perceived either as crypto transfers or as a place where “NFTs and data are stored.” But in practice, it’s becoming a coordination layer between participants without the need for a middleman.
Tried mapping this directly onto the DeNet architecture through a simple sketch.
In a traditional cloud model, there’s always a third party between participants: the provider controls access, infrastructure, interaction rules, and ultimately the trust model itself.
In our architecture, these relationships are coordinated by the protocol through smart contracts.
Because of that, the interaction model itself starts to change:
• no dependency on a single participant,
• control over data stays entirely with the client,
• scaling across countries and jurisdictions becomes simpler,
• interactions between parties become faster.
Overall, it’s much more interesting than just “storing data on blockchain” 😉
Blockchain is only one of the coordination and verification layers inside a much larger system.
