# FAQ # FAQ
### Decentralization # Earth Hub Benefits
## Decentralization
### Security? Having a decentralized protocol on centralized servers can be somewhat sub-optimal.
- The protocols by itself have quite some security but this security also makes it sometimes just a little harder to use. Earth Hub provides decentralization thanks to its workload being run on the Mycelium network by decentralized nodes. With Mycelium nodes, the shortest path is taken and we can then deliver real edge cloud results. We do not rely heavily on big data center but can disperse workloads and be compliants with local conditions, e.g. being GDPR compliant.
### Scalability? ## Security
- The systems are capable to be super scalable but because people don't want to operate themselves its somewhat more limited. The protocols discussed in this book by itself have quite some security, but this security also makes it sometimes just a little harder to use.
### Is the data secure and protected? Earth Hub allows for a very simple process that is self-healing by design.
- Thanks to EarthHub we can store the data on a quantum safe storage system which will allow more reliability and security. ## Scalability
The protocols discussed in this book are capable of being super scalable, but since people don't want to operate those protocols themselves this somewhat limits scalability.
With Earth Hub, there is no need to install and main server: this fact can drastically increase the scalability factor by enabling anyone to get set up easily without technical knowledge required.
### Data Protection
While there can be a level of data protection with the protocols described in the book, it stays limited.
Thanks to Earth Hub, we can store the data on a quantum safe storage system which will allow more reliability and security.

### Monetization ### Monetization
- Thanks to EarthWallet micropayments are done to automatically reward the relays, nodes, bandwidth points for utilization. - Automatic micropayment:
- Cost: having full blown sovereign social network app capabilities doesn't have to be expensive, a couple of USD per month should be enough. There is not something as a free lunch. - Thanks to Earth Wallet micropayments are done to automatically to reward the relays, nodes and bandwidth points for utilization.

- Fulfilled customers:

> more than 280,000,000 users are now on decentralized platforms based on the 3 chosen protocols. ## Introduction
### ActivityPub: +150,000,000 There are currently more than 280 million users interacting on decentralized platforms based on the 3 protocols present.
## ActivityPub: +150,000,000
- **Overview**: ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol that powers a wide range of social media platforms and applications, the most notable being Mastodon. It enables users across different platforms to interact with each other. - **Overview**: ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol that powers a wide range of social media platforms and applications, the most notable being Mastodon.

- **Overview**: Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralized communication, supporting instant messaging, VoIP, and video calling features. It's used by a variety of clients and services, both for personal messaging and organizational communication. - **Overview**: Matrix is an open network for secure, decentralized communication, supporting instant messaging, VoIP, and video calling features. It's used by a variety of clients and services, both for personal messaging and organizational communication.
- **User Count**: As of early 2023, Matrix had over 60 million addressable users. This number represents the total users that can be reached within the Matrix network, though active user numbers may be lower. The growth of Matrix has been consistent, driven by both community adoption and organizational use, including several governmental bodies. Today its more than 115,000,000 users. - **User Count**: As of early 2023, Matrix had over 60 million addressable users.

### NOSTR ## NOSTR
- **Overview**: NOSTR (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a relatively new and simple decentralized protocol for open and censorship-resistant social networks. Being in its early stages, it has attracted attention for its simplicity and potential for privacy-focused social networking. - **Overview**: NOSTR (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a relatively new and simple decentralized protocol for open and censorship-resistant social networks.

- **User Count**: +-400k but hard to know exact. Adoption is currently much lower than for ActivityPub or Matrix, but interest in the protocol is growing within certain communities focused on privacy and decentralization. - **User Count**: +-400k but hard to know exact.

### Remarks ## Remarks
- **Growth and Adoption**: While ActivityPub has seen widespread adoption due to platforms like Mastodon, Matrix is also significantly growing, particularly among tech-savvy users and organizations needing secure communication. NOSTR, being newer, has a smaller user base but is of interest to those deeply invested in decentralization and privacy. - **Growth and Adoption**: While ActivityPub has seen widespread adoption due to platforms like Mastodon, Matrix is also significantly growing, particularly among tech-savvy users and organizations needing secure communication.

- **Measurement Challenges**: Measuring the exact number of users on decentralized networks is inherently challenging. Many instances or servers do not publicly report their user numbers, and users can have multiple accounts across different servers. - **Measurement Challenges**: Measuring the exact number of users on decentralized networks is inherently challenging.
