Why Monad: Decentralization + Performance

Decentralization matters

A blockchain has several major components:

  • Consensus mechanism for achieving agreement on transactions to append to the ledger
  • Execution/storage system for maintaining the active state

In increasing the performance of these components, one could cut corners, for example by requiring all of the nodes to be physically close to each other (to save on the overhead of consensus), or by requiring a huge amount of RAM (to keep much or all of the state in memory), but it would be at a significant cost to decentralization.

And decentralization is the whole point!

As discussed in Why Blockchain?, decentralized shared global state allows many parties to coordinate while relying on a single, shared, objective source of truth. Decentralization is key to the matter; a blockchain maintained by a small group of node operators (or in the extreme case, a single operator!) would not offer benefits such as trustlessness, credible neutrality, and censorship-resistance.

For any blockchain network, decentralization should be the principal concern. Performance improvements should not come at the expense of decentralization.
