Public Goods Infrastructure.
Public goods are infrastructure provided by the government or private sector, which consist of national defense, the Internet, and livelihood requirements. However, The government has the obligation for public goods supervision, taxational rights, and other necessities, while we depend on the private sector for the provision of consumable goods, which serves as the most available economic goods, for example, a private network which provides data, requires regular data subscription, with the goods pricing ration in two forms, [1] the government taxes [2] price set by a private company.
Differentiated Aspect of Public Goods.
In the economic description, public goods are non-excludable and non-rivalrous.
- Non-excludable — is that the goods are available to all as a “pure” inheritance forged by nature or man. An example is clear Air or satellites, one which a person can’t exclude the other from receiving.
- Non-rivalrous — goods do not decrease in supply no matter the consumption. For example, we created a bridge for crossing, which we never stop using.
Private Goods
Private goods are businesses or products of an individual which are rivalrous and excludable. Private goods are competitive, and their possession by an individual or a selected few may lead to scarcity. However, they are the most offered and immediate consumable goods.
Private goods are impactful human provisions, that enhance the economy in different ways, but the case of impure creates difficulty in its use, availability, and cost. For example, a stadium with a minimum attendance number and cost fend off individuals’ desires to attend
The Internet And Blockchain As Public Goods — Infrastructure.
The internet (dynamically) takes the stand on life’s impact through digital infrastructures, such as social, storage, and data. Transforming the ways of interaction and payment through private or governmental internet infrastructures, existing as public goods, although censorship is within these infrastructures — and requires an alternative technology, which the blockchain represents. The blockchain is a free-rider public good, enabling the use of the decentralized protocol on the Internet, such as tokenized assets, Internet file storage, and name services which transform the real-time monetary system and enable data security. However, these protocols work with a different mechanism through decentralized organizations.
The Public Goods Projects.
For neutrality, all blockchains (working products) are public goods due to their functional purposes. Which we can arguably say symbolizes digital banking and requires public use. A large number of projects exist on the blockchain, but there are specific projects that profoundly represent public goods through these mechanisms and ownership models.
- The DAO structured ownership model: Is Implemented to assign project ownership to the community, which requires an encoded smart contract mechanism that serves as a constitution for all related parties, eliminating the need for privatization and censorship.
- The governance model: This enables the holders of the goods to propose and vote for a specific change. However, this is achievable by tokenization.
The Pricing Rationale For Public Goods.
Pricing rationale sets the advantage for profiting in every business, optimized on different strategies and mechanisms.
Centralized web infrastructures take advantage of the SaaS model and data. For example, GoDaddy’s hosting price costs $17+ per month on a standard plan, while on Facebook or YouTube, data payment is off-site — but dynamically collected through ads. These products are rivalrous. Therefore price tends to be incremented inconspicuously. However, Arbitrary methods are applied to the data collection mechanism, meaning we dynamically pay through unwanted ads — for time spent on the centralized web.
Pricing on decentralized infrastructure
Public Goods Projects on Web 3.0 take a different approach toward revenue sourcing and pricing, priced from Storage, Bandwidth, and Computation, generated through synchronized tokenized assets.
Infrastructures such as decentralized file storage systems, and domain name services, are core public goods projects of Web 3.0, outscoring various Web 2.0 infrastructures on technical features, which include data storage, cloud hosting, transactions, and assets management. Nonetheless, the pricing is low and most stable when compared.
Importance Of Tokenizing Public Goods Projects.
Tokenization is an important prototype of blockchain public goods. Projects such as name services and cloud systems, tokenmonics are created, for
- Enable public goods trade. Products such as domain name trade need an on-chain agreement between a buyer and seller, which requires a token for settlements based on the listed price.
- Decentralized storage or porting payment. On a decentralized storage infrastructure such as Skynet. Users pay for portal operation and storage using tokens, And also on IPFS. However, the price paid is 90% lower than centralized services,
- Enable hosting transactions. Decentralized name service, ANS, functionality includes the possibility of hosting — therefore, the integration of DNS to ANS through IPFS or Skynet server requires tokens to enable the hosting passage. However, the fee is below $1 compared to centralized services.
- Decentralized voting. Governance is the key to decentralization. Therefore, tokens enable users of decentralized infrastructures to vote for a change. The DAO community takes charge of this mechanism.
DAO Standardizes Public Goods.
The rationale of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) — the internet public goods ownership model into a standardized mechanism, giving users the right to development through voting, for example, Algorand Name Service (ANS) DAO. Incorporate authority through decentralized governance.
Governance is important to the structure of blockchain technology. It provides a more balanced density and enhances blockchain adaptation, nonetheless,web3 governance is structured in various consensus mechanisms.
