# Decentralized
_This document is under construction. We are actively working on refining the content and will update it in the near future._
## Overview
DSFX is built on a fundamentally decentralized architecture. This design choice eliminates any single point of failure, fosters enhanced privacy, and distributes trust across the participating nodes. In DSFX, every node functions both as a client and a server, exchanging data and verifying transactions independently from any centralized authority.
## Key Principles
- **Trustless Communication:**
Every peer in the network establishes secure channels using cryptographic handshakes. By leveraging robust key exchange mechanisms and digital signatures, DSFX enables nodes to securely communicate and verify each others identities without relying on a central server.
- **Distributed Data Exchange:**
Files and blobs are exchanged directly between nodes. The system is designed to handle data distribution in a way that prevents data bottlenecks while maintaining integrity and confidentiality.
- **Resilience and Fault Tolerance:**
As nodes operate independently, the network remains resilient—even if parts of it fail or become compromised. Data exchange is dynamically rerouted through alternative nodes ensuring continuous operation.
- **Decentralized Governance:**
DSFXs decentralized setup leaves the decisions regarding network upgrades, protocol changes, and other critical parameters to the majority of the network participants rather than a central authority.
## Future Directions
In upcoming revisions, we plan to delve deeper into:
- Specific protocols and algorithms that enable decentralized key management.
- The methodology behind node discovery and dynamic routing.
- Comparative benefits over centralized file exchange systems.
- Use cases and scenarios that highlight the importance of decentralization in DSFX.
