How to find peers in the decentralised web
- POST
The Decentralised Paradigm & Problem The decentralized web refers to an Internet where no central authorities take responsibility to provide features/processes/services for Internet apps to work.
This solves the issue of such central authorities being able to store user profile information and preferences and monetize on such data.
But a problem arises: how are peers going to find each other in such decentralized network?
The solutions Using a central server This kind of defeats the purpose of the decentralized web, but in reality what is needed from this servers is that they act as places where users find each other to connect.
