Decentralization isn’t binary. It’s a spectrum — and the tradeoffs are becoming measurable. ARK Invest and Glassnode’s framework evaluates Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana across six dimensions: ownership distribution, exit fluidity, verification overhead, critical resilience, reconstruction overhead, and geographic/provider resilience. The result is striking: Bitcoin leads overall — but Solana leads one critical dimension. That matters because decentralization isn’t simply about how many validators or nodes a network has. It is about how difficult it is for any single actor or group to control production, verification, infrastructure, ownership, governance, or the rules of the network. The deeper lesson: Scale, speed, coordination, and decentralization are not free. Every architecture makes tradeoffs. #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto #Blockchain #Decentralization
