Top 3 Python Decentralization Projects

bookwyrm

12 2,144 9.7 Python

Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub

Project mention: Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-19

It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:

I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!
Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

consensus-decentralization

1 24 7.8 Python

Tool that analyzes blockchain decentralization on the consensus layer by looking at the block production distributions of various blockchain systems.

Project mention: Edinburgh Decentralization Index: A CLI tool for analyzing the block production | /r/cardano | 2023-10-11

This is the tool that the Edinburgh Decentralization Index (EDI) team is providing to measure decentralization of block production of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tezos, Zcash and counting: https://github.com/Blockchain-Technology-Lab/consensus-decentralization
