Decentralisation debate

Collection item

Anatoly Yakovenko argues that true decentralisation hinges solely on every user referencing the same ledger state; therefore, he rejects Gabriel Shapiro’s warning that centralised control over names, logos, and other trademarks can compromise a blockchain’s decentralised character.

Gabriel Shapiro maintains that meaningful decentralisation requires neutral governance of a blockchain’s branding as well as open-source code.

Gabriel Shapiro publicly challenged the market to compare the value of trademark-free “Gorbagana” against branded Solana, asking which identical fork investors would prize more.

Community embraced Gorbagana as an ironic protest against trademark-heavy blockchains, citing earlier disputes such as Ethereum’s DAO fork and Solana’s branding decisions.
