Alien Worlds CEO Explains Why Decentralization Matters for Long-Term Stability
๐๏ธ Why decentralization actually matters
At CVC 2025, Dacoco CEO Saro McKenna outlined the technical foundations that keep Alien Worlds operational. She focused on three core elements:
- Distributed consensus - No single entity controls the network
- Censorship resistance - The system operates independently of central authority
- Removing single points of failure - Infrastructure designed to withstand individual component failures
McKenna argues these architectural choices are essential for any decentralized application aiming for long-term viability. The presentation builds on previous talks where she discussed how Alien Worlds scaled to tens of millions of NFTs while maintaining daily user activity.
The project has evolved beyond its initial play-to-earn model into a broader ecosystem with community-built tools, player-created games, and DAO governance structures.
