- zaphar 11y agoIn decentralization you are always the server and everyone else is the client. You have ways to validate what they send to you. It works out because they all think of themselves as the server and everyone else as the client too. This is of course a vast simplification but the trust part is the same. No one trusts anyone but themselves and validates everything everyone sends them.
