As long as you are speaking the truth :-)
And that made me curious and hope you could elaborate more about it.
The truth is, even after a few years here, I used to think that HE was decentralized until I read some time ago that it wasn't.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Hive-engine is a side-chain
it has its own consensus
it has its own databases
It writes some custon_json's to the Hive Layer 1 but everything else is done on its servers.
for the longest time is was 100% centralized and myself and others get saying this.
then they started to run some nodes for processing transactions.
The nature of those nodes and what is and isn't on a centralized database is still not clear. (maybe it is now but i have not looked in quite awhile. I have washed my hands of their project)
VSC and what we are building will actually settle on Hive layer 1 in human readable form. So it is more Hive than something running on a side-chain.
Feel free to use what you want but our goal has always been to educate people on the difference.
Yeah, it was a surprise for me to learn some months ago that it was centralized. I did see some Hive users running their own HE nodes.
Good to hear that VSC is being built on Layer 1.
VSC is built on top of Hive as a true Layer 2. not a side-chain like HE.
Oh, okay. Thanks for the correction. Is VSC the first one to do that?
For smart contracts yes.
after that it gets kind of technical of exactly how each dapp uses the chain.
There is no standard and each dapp does it differently.
Okay, thank you. I did read that VSC is the first to bring smart contracts to Hive. Hope more apps will follow.
