Studio-driven chains risk losing decentralization
Akash Network Live with Greg Osuri: Akash's progress in 2023, open community development, and more (Akash Network)
“I do have little concerns with Polygon sometimes… there is a chance the studio will go so big that they determine the protocol completely… I think there’s a heavy risk now that it may lose a decentralization nature… and if that model is going to be exported for the rest of the crypto ecosystem — which most likely it looks like it is — then we’re in big trouble.” — 00:41:00
Context: Names Polygon (with stated respect for its “world-class” BD team) as an example of labs/studios accruing power over protocols; contrasts with Akash going “from the corporate to the commons” — “make better mistakes tomorrow.” Quote spans into 00:41:43.
