How are Zucoin transactions more decentralized?

In many crypto systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum, mining or validation work is primarily done by network nodes.

Wallet apps in these systems typically do less work, often waiting for and looking for results from the network or third parties that communicate with the network.

Splitchain operates on an opposite principle.

Network nodes in Splitchain do very little work; their main role is to cache data and provide this data to peers who are looking for it.

The peer's wallet app then performs the significant work of validating and processing all the found data to facilitate the next transaction.

This approach shifts the validation burden from a potentially centralized set of nodes to the distributed network of peers themselves.
