Ask HN: When is federation a better solution than decentralization? 2 by chatmasta | 0 comments on Hacker News. The past couple years have been dominated by the hype cycle of cryptocurrencies as an incentive mechanism for decentralization. Hundreds of “N sided marketplace” problems have been reframed to fit within decentralized solutions. And yet, none of them have really succeeded. There is no “killer app” representing the decentralized marketplace du-jour. I can’t help but wonder if many of these projects are approaching the solution the wrong way. The fundamental problem underpinning decentralization is one of governance and direction. Too many cooks in the kitchen means solutions can become diluted with unnecessarily indirect incentive mechanisms. Decentralization is a spectrum. There is a middle ground between a decentralized solution and a centralized solution. That middle ground is federation. To me, federation has always seemed a better solution for decentralized marketplace...
