124 - When Does Decentralization Matter? With Matthew Gould from Unstoppable Domains


Listen Later

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, our CEO Matthew Gould is here to talk all about centralization vs decentralization — a central topic in the world of Web3.

We talk about what decentralization really means, and the importance of finding a balance between full centralization and full decentralization. Is it really necessary or even possible to decentralize everything in crypto?

Matt explains why the differences between centralization and decentralization really matter and some of the security risks of centralization. We discuss roll-up solutions as well as other scalability solutions.

We also talk about decentralization in DAOs, and Matt explains the idea of centralization spectrums within companies. We discuss the risks of centralized platforms, like censorship and control.

Finally, we break down some of the bigger companies in crypto, where they fall on the centralization spectrum, what this means for each one, how it’s impacting users, and the role of regulation.
