Decentralization

Do we want to simply decentralize everything, or do we want to solve practical problems?

Taraxa rejects dogmatic decentralization in favor of pragmatic idealism. The question isn’t whether to “decentralize everything” but how to “solve practical problems” with decentralization.



Many so-called decentralized networks compromise on validation or membership to achieve scalability, resulting in centralized sequencers or leader-based consensus mechanisms. Taraxa’s blockDAG and t-Graph consensus tackle these issues head-on, offering a network that scales without sacrificing security or decentralization.

You call that decentralized? Layer 2s are destroying crypto

Layer-2 solutions (L2s) have become a popular workaround for Ethereum’s scalability issues, but Taraxa argues they undermine crypto’s core promise. In a September 2025 Cointelegraph op-ed, Taraxa’s leadership critiques L2s for introducing centralized sequencers and eroding trust, warning that they “are destroying crypto” by sacrificing decentralization for short-term gains. Unlike L2s, Taraxa’s Layer-1 blockDAG achieves scalability without compromising Ethereum’s ethos.

Taraxa’s EVM-compatible chain offers >5,000 TPS and sub-second block times, rivaling L2 performance while maintaining full decentralization. By avoiding leader-based consensus or centralized sequencers, Taraxa ensures no single entity controls transaction ordering or validation. This makes it a superior choice for dApp builders seeking Ethereum compatibility without the trade-offs of L2s, delivering “trilemma solved” performance.
