That is something that could be a basis for a website similar to price trackers like CMC, or Coingecko that would provide valuable input on decentralization levels for various projects in this space, even beyond social media related projects.
Im not great at writing papers😂 but would be more than willing to do the networking for you guys to get that funded.
Having a scientific framework to determine decentralization level, i feel is immensely valuable.
Everything we do on Hive should have impact beyond Hive. That is the path I try to take with anything I do.
If I recall there was a site made by a hivean for this @uncklebonehead, was that u?
It would need to just be about the decentralization index. Show nothing else. A story built about that and not only a footnote somewhere. Nothing can compete with CMC or coingecko.
But a whole new, metric specific site would have no competitor.
