RE: How To Set Up A Hive Engine Witness- Step By Step Guide

in #engine4 years ago

While this isn't a true block production layer, it's better than nothing

So hive-engine is still functionally centralized?

Sort:  

Not exactly. We now have a way for nodes to verify the data against each other and get rewarded for it. But as of now, most of the tools using hive-engine are still using the api from api.hive-engine.com. True decentralization will come once other nodes start getting used. Even on hive if everyone just used api.hive.blog as their only API and skipped all other nodes, even if they existed it wouldn't be a decentralized system.
