Blockchain applications are never fully trustless, but some applications are much closer to being trustless than others. If we want to make practical moves toward trust minimization, we want to have the ability to compare different degrees of trust.","image":null,"stack":{"id":"b6dfa18a-2df4-4630-8141-dde74c631c97","title":"Kernel Module 0","url":"https://stacklist.com/stack/b6dfa18a-2df4-4630-8141-dde74c631c97"},"created_at":"2025-02-24T23:38:55.387Z","updated_at":null,"aco":{"summary":"This website article discusses different models of trust in blockchain applications. It defines trust as using assumptions about the behavior of others, and breaks down trust into four dimensions: \n\n1. Number of people needed to behave as expected.\n2. Total number of people involved.\n3. Motivations required for people to behave.\n4. Impact of trust assumption violation.\n\nThe article then categorizes trust models into six buckets based on the first two dimensions, analyzing the trade-offs between different levels of trust. Finally, it examines the trust models of several Layer 2 protocols, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.  The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the specific type of trust required by a system to make informed decisions about its use. \n","tags":["Kernel","Ethereum","Trust"],"key_entities":[],"classification":null,"language":null,"confidence":null,"provenance":null,"token_counts":{"approximate":220},"content_hash":null,"acp_version":"0.2","body_available":false,"body_tokens":0,"visibility":"public","agent_accessible":true,"status":"final"},"_links":{"self":"/api/public/card/33c582a5-4d3e-4cff-8206-bce6426d19dd.json","html":"https://stacklist.com/card/33c582a5-4d3e-4cff-8206-bce6426d19dd","md":"/api/public/card/33c582a5-4d3e-4cff-8206-bce6426d19dd.md","stack_json":"/api/public/stack/b6dfa18a-2df4-4630-8141-dde74c631c97.json"}}
