Cosmos (ATOM) is a decentralized ecosystem of independent blockchains that its creator, All In Bits Inc (dba Tendermint Inc), hopes is the foundation for the next generation of internet technology. Instead of participating in divisions between crypto factions, Cosmos brings them all together, enabling interoperability, currency exchanges, and an Internet of Blockchains (IoB).

Could you make a streaming service that is fully decentralized and Peer-To-Peer? The solution is relatively simple: most people don’t use their entire internet bandwidth, so tapping and sharing this excess connectivity could help run a massive content network.

This is exactly what the New Kind of Network (NKN) wants to achieve, and today the project got closer to that objective by launching its mainnet, dubbed “Narwhal.”

Bitcoin continues to form the basis for the entire crypto economy. One need only look at price graphs to see that the majority of cryptocurrencies continue to follow the dips and rises of the original digital cash.

The Polkadot Network is an ambitious blockchain project that is working to deliver blockchain interoperability. Broadly speaking, Polkadot will allow different blockchains to connect and communicate, which could resolve difficulties related to crypto transactions and app development. Crypto Briefing covered some of Polkadot’s features in more detail in a previous article.

Imagine for a moment that Craig Wright truly is who he says he is; the inventor of Bitcoin. Imagine you are one of the few who, despite the evidence against his many rambling arguments, believe he truly is the creator of this revolutionary monetary system, now rejected by its creator because it has been used for “bad things”.

Readers of a certain age will remember a time when banks could increase your wealth, as well as store it. If you’re old enough to remember when Pokemon was just a card game, you might also remember a wise grandparent or uncle telling you to put your allowance in a high-interest savings account, where it could compound at four or even five percent per year. Back then, a meager allowance could become a decent bankroll by the time you reached adulthood.

Blockchain governance is, essentially, the means by which changes are proposed and implemented on a blockchain platform. This comes with a challenge: a wide variety of participants must be given a say in those changes, and powerful parties must not be given too much control – at least, that’s the blueprint for decentralization, though it doesn’t always work that way.

There are three broadly-delineated governance models that are competing to solve the problems around necessary governance and the philosophy of decentralization, and this is an overview of how they work.
