# 2.3 Decentralized Governance

A decentralized blockchain is a type of distributed ledger that is managed by a network of nodes, rather than a single central authority. This means that no single entity has control over the network, and all nodes are equal in terms of their ability to validate and add new transactions to the blockchain.

One of the key features of SatoshiChain is that it uses a consensus mechanism to ensure that all nodes in the network agree on the state of the ledger at any given time. This means that all nodes must independently validate each new transaction before it can be added to the blockchain, and any node that tries to add an invalid transaction will be rejected by the network.

By using a decentralized network of nodes to manage the ledger, SatoshiChain can provide a high level of security and reliability, as well as a high level of transparency and accountability. This makes it well-suited for use in a wide range of applications, including financial transactions, supply chain management, and data storage.
