We can see a truly decentralised web coming that fully realizes the promise and design of the internet. Pryv.io is our contribution to that change.

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?

Deb Nicholson is worried about the future of our data.They're being stockpiled by organizations whose ability to protect them is diminishing, but whose ability to keep users from accessing or transporting them is increasing. Bit by bit, these data are being centralized--gathered in large repositories outside users' control and sequestered there when competing products or services can't access or read them.

Blockchain technology brings security structures and incentives in line with the way we share information in the 21st century.

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

Dapps, or decentralized applications, introduce a new wave of innovation that is sweeping the world at the moment. Read a quick crash course on the topic.

Decentralized knowledge is information that is shared and widely distributed, rather than owned by a single source. Learn about the numerous benefits that business’ can gain from this innovative concept.

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.

Momenta Insights interviews Dana Farbo, COO of Augmate about the promise of data in Connected Industry as a critical key to problem-solving​. We explore the need for decentralized data storage of device data and the role that blockchain technology can play.

Mark Nadal is one of a growing number of technologists trying to right what they see as the wrongs of the internet by building a new one around decentralization.
