Background
There are dapps in the IC ecosystem which are critical to the overall community experience and which can be seen as common goods. Many of these are controlled by DAOs of their own. It is important to understand which these are and how decentralized they are.
Critical “Common Good” Dapps
The following smart contracts are not part of the protocol (as opposed to NNS_Canisters which are part of the protocol), but they are commonly used by the community as common goods for the ICP community:
Current State of Decentralization of these dapps
Internet identity
1. Code
2. Canister
3. Governance
- Internet Identity is controlled by the NNS so NNS DAO voters decide on upgrades to the code. Here is an example of a proposal to update II: https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/108655
- To understand the decentralization of the governance of the dapp, it is necessary to look at the decentralization of NNS voters. See Decentralization in ICP: Protocol Governance
4. Infrastructure decentralization
- This dapp lives on subnet uzr34.
- https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/subnet/uzr34-akd3s-xrdag-3ql62-ocgoh-ld2ao-tamcv-54e7j-krwgb-2gm4z-oqe
- Table of decentralization for subnet `uzr34`: TBD
NNS Frontend dapp
1. Code
2. Canister
3. Governance
- This dapp is controlled by the NNS so NNS DAO voters decide on upgrades to the code. Here is an example of a proposal to update it: https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/proposal/109947
- To understand the decentralization of the governance of the dapp, it is necessary to look at the decentralization of NNS voters. See Decentralization in ICP: Protocol Governance
4. Infrastructure decentralization
- This dapp lives on subnet `tdb26`: https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/subnet/tdb26-jop6k-aogll-7ltgs-eruif-6kk7m-qpktf-gdiqx-mxtrf-vb5e6-eqe
- Table of decentralization for subnet `tdb26`: TBD
