With a lightweight method of using the DNS trust root, decentralised communities can establish and self-manage secure hierarchies of trust for identities, assets and distributed services. This can be deployed outside the data centre monopoly and into the decentralised and local infrastructures at the network edge for complete autonomy with minimal resources and management. Why use blockchains with eternal history and ever increasing storage and resource requirements, when you can leverage and liberate the most highly distributed network service in existence?
