    It may seem contradictory that all these ‘decentralised’ protocols are based on a very centralised structure such as the DNS, when one could use a DHT, like torrent is doing.

    DNS is centralized?

      Yes, it’s controlled by ICANN which licenses out the ability to become a domain registrar. Making a new TLD is very expensive and the whole process is in the hands of like a half dozen corporations.
