- People need to always know that running a blockchain is one of the most complicated tasks but the solution for that is a user-centric blockchain network that always utilizes lightweight full nodes.
- There are different blockchain technologies that offer new horizons in terms of user governance and digital interaction between parties.
Moreover, this is something that evolves with each iteration by adding new use cases and better functionality. However, the different technical requirements of becoming a participant in any given blockchain network and the complex nature of the technology itself are something that often prevents newcomers from running a node and becoming a validator.
What Are Some Challenges Faced by Blockchain Networks?
So, as an infrastructure, blockchain is the one that was created to give full governance power to its actual participants. But, on the other side, it is something that provides amazing benefits in some use cases as Bitcoin does for peer-to-peer asset transfers. This is also the way most of the current blockchain networks are designed, which poses quite a challenge for new users to participate.
Moreover, for one time, if someone is able to become a participant in the network all the users need to make sure to run a fall blockchain node and become a validator. Also, the brief history of blockchain showed that running a validator node requires substantial technical know-how that even most tech people often lack, with costly investments in expensive hardware.
There are also users who want to become active participants in a blockchain but soon find out that the technical side is not challenging enough. Blockchains and decentralized applications are always designed for utility and not for users. The user interface should always bridge the technology with the experience that heavily lacks simplicity by raising the entry barrier for average users even higher.
The Prototype Of Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs)
This is the section where simplifying nodes is the only part of the equation. People also need to make sure that they simplify the user interfaces. Also, when people look at the current blockchain landscape the most widely-used apps are coming from crypto exchanges.
Also, the blockchain ecosystem can take cues from exchanges when designing their user experience. Later, true decentralization needs more people to become validators and running nodes of a blockchain network. It is also very necessary to design node client applications with easy-to-use graphic user interfaces (GUIs).Â
Moreover, when the protocol has developed OverNode that too as a ‘client for lightweight full node’ to provide all the users with a GUI that uses an application and mouse control instead of command line operations widely used for node clients.
When there is advanced knowledge of the Linux operating system or expensive dedicated hardware that is no longer required, users can feel empowered to run a node and become validators.
Conclusion
So, last but not least, people can very easily contribute to the decentralization of networks. Also, by adding more newcomers to networks as validators and different active participants, people can very easily drive the blockchain ecosystem’s growth in a very meaningful way.
