Classic arguments for decentralization, augmented by ideas about how participation empowers the poor, motivate the widely used approach in foreign aid called community-driven development (CDD). CDD devolves control over the selection, implementation, and financial management of public goods to communities. Until recently, policy enthusiasm has outstripped the evidence. I synthesize findings from randomized controlled trials and find that CDD effectively delivers public goods and modest economic returns at low cost in difficult environments. There is little evidence, however, that CDD transforms local decision making or empowers the poor in any enduring way. Part of this failure may be because some constraints believed to be important—like insufficient social capital—appear not to bind. Others, like exclusive local institutions, are a problem, although not one that CDD remedies. These results present a conundrum: How much participation is enough to safeguard the gains of such extreme decentralization while minimizing the opportunity costs imposed on poor people's time?

Early humans formed a decentralized society, which became gradually more centralized as they improved their life conditions.

How to develop a dapp?

In this contributed article, John Suit, Chief Technology Officer at KODA, Inc., discusses the overall potential of decentralized AI. The future of artificial intelligence will be determined by how much weight we put into collaboration. Fundamentally, collaboration relies on a group of people (or machines) who share their individual knowledge to solve a problem. Decentralized AI is the path forward.

In its rawest form, a decentralized application is any app that runs on a connected network of compute resources, but our modern notion of decentralized applications (or DApps) is one where apps run on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network of computers, often now under the purview of a blockchain -- so how will these technologies work in practice, when attempting to exchange data for working applications?
