Centralized control planes can't scale — the internet's roots are the answer

"Keynote from Greg Osuri: \"Journey to Acceleration & Beyond\" - Akash Accelerate '24" (Akash Network)

“You cannot scale to any level of high performance using a centralized control plane. The only way to really massively scale is go back to the roots, how the internet was founded — decentralized… instead of a single control plane we can have a decentralized control plane where there’s no dependency on a single point of failure… blockchains happen to be the only data structure that would allow us to have a decentralized control mechanism, or decentralized coordination mechanism.” — 00:05:07
