Decentralized Networks Transform Law Enforcement

Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePin) could revolutionize law enforcement by shifting from state-controlled to community-based systems, enhancing transparency, according to a report by Zee Prime Capital. Decentralized security (DeSec) involves creating distributed surveillance and law enforcement architecture, such as ballistic triangulation systems and community patrol DAOs. Blockchain and decentralized architecture excel in security due to the inherent redundancy in these systems. DeSec applications extend beyond policing, offering incentives for reinforcing electrical infrastructure against disruptive events. Decentralized networks can also spot aerial incursions, reducing terrorism risks. However, the increased transparency comes with privacy trade-offs, highlighting the need to balance these aspects to avoid intrusive mass surveillance.
