It's a project for decentralizing existing big data databases... Not sure where you've set your expectations?


Ive set them at blockchain level, so. Meh. PostgreSQL can also be distributed with paxos.


To clarify: "distributed" and "decentralized" are different. "Distributed" spreads compute among many physical resources, but may still have a single entity controlling it. "Decentralized" has no single entity controlling it. Paxos distributes but does not decentralize.
