1. Removing the central party was always key for making a system that could benefit everyone and not create rules that favored the powerful. Your question is phrased such that it’s talking about trustless computing as a whole so it can be applied to things such as creating a true and verifiably secure direct democratic system that everyone can trust and understand given some level of tech knowledge. 2.
