Traditional blockchain technologies have become outdated, and decentralization is applicable only in limited areas. This was discussed by Alexander Boldachev, the founder of the Boldsea project and a philosopher, on the “Podcast Society” segment on ForkLog’s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

In his view, the future lies with semantic systems, flexible consensus, and network clustering. <\/p>\n
Boldachev noted that blockchain was relevant during the era of slow internet. Now, in many cases, packaging data into blocks is pointless:<\/p>\n
\n“Modern networks do not need blocks. We can reach consensus for individual transactions, not for packages.”<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
According to him, scaling blockchain for real-world tasks\u2014from supply chains to voting\u2014is impossible, as evidenced by the failures of projects from 2017\u20132019. <\/p>\n
Boldachev also criticized the “fetishization of decentralization,” noting that many processes only require isolated clusters, and unnecessary transactions can be ignored altogether. He believes the industry has failed to integrate into the real economy, turning into a “token exchange.” <\/p>\n
In the future, the philosopher is convinced, blockchain will give way to automation systems where code, AI, and cryptography are tools, not dogmas.<\/p>\n
