## Quote — verbatim

> On-chain computing is hyper redundant — that's why it's expensive, that also is why it's secure. Off-chain compute, the redundancy depends on the scheduling algorithm. Amazon is not redundant... if an Amazon data center goes down, it goes down — it's redundant within the scope of the data center... the challenge is to design something that allows for cross-site, or maximum possible, redundancy while allowing for performance.
