The Evolution of Data Management For decades, traditional databases have relied on centralized systems, where a single authority controls data access, modification, and security. However, this approach has several limitations—single points of failure, lack of transparency, and vulnerability to censorship or manipulation. Blockchain technology offers a radical shift by introducing decentralization, immutability, and community consensus. Understanding Decentralized Databases Unlike centralized systems, decentralized databases distribute data across a network of nodes rather than storing it in a single location. Each node holds a partial or complete copy of the database, ensuring that no single failure or actor can compromise the entire…
