Separating and quantifying decentralization both before and after social consensus is invoked gives us a complete picture of a blockchain’s resilience. Pre-social consensus metrics show us the network’s baseline health, while post-social consensus metrics reveal how well the network can handle crises. I present a framework for quantifying decentralization, safety and efficacy of social consensus mechanisms in blockchain systems. Any feedback is welcome.
