Overview of DECENT
Decentralized power is truly “Power to the People.” This publication provides a clear explanation of how and why our communities have so much to gain from local decentralized power and so much to lose if big energy corporations continue to control our energy resources.”–Angelina Galiteva, founder of Renewables 100 Policy Institute; chairperson of the World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE).More Acclaim for Community PowerCommunity Power argues that local, decentralized generation of electricity offers many benefits to California’s communities relative to large central-station solar or wind power plants in remote areas.
Decent work has become a universal objective and has been included in major human rights declarations, UN Resolutions and outcome documents from major conferences including Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the World Summit for Social Development (1995), World Summit Outcome Document (2005), the high level segment of ECOSOC (2006), the Second United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (2008-2017), Conference on Sustainable Development (2011) and in the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015).
Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol bZx, has revealed via Twitter on April 19, 2021, that since launching its margin trading and lending product on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), its total value locked (TVL) has increased significantly and it’s now looking to build upon that success with its cross-chain governance token, BGOV.
Decentralized reputation platform, Monetha has today announced a strategic partnership with Wolfram Blockchain Labs who has selected the enterprise-grade blockchain platform to work with; joining R&D efforts as Wolfram’s idea that “computational contracts” will underpin the future of digital payments is within striking distance.
Decentralized applications (also known as “dapps”) provide services similar to those offered by typical consumer applications, but they use blockchain technology to grant users more control over their data by eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries to manage the data, thus making the service “decentralized.”
Decentralized exchanges posted their highest-ever monthly volume in January — north of $60 billion for the month, according to data collected by The Block Crypto — signaling that the ecosystem of non-custodial exchange protocols is capturing a small but growing segment of the broader market interest in cryptocurrencies and tokens.
Decentralized oracle networks, which include Chainlink, seek to solve this secondary problem by employing a network of nodes to act as intermediaries between oracles and smart contracts; that is, these networks must reach a rough consensus on the validity of external information, provided by oracles, before triggering a smart contract.

Network
Vericred is a data services company connecting its health plan partners, such as Decent, with InsurTech platforms that are transforming the way health insurance is quoted, sold and enrolled.Rather than build one-to-one connections with each individual InsurTech company to enable the exchange of plan design, rate, and network data, Decent is leveraging Vericred’s platform to do so.
Support
"Americans spend around three-and-a-half trillion dollars per year on healthcare, yet experts estimate that a quarter of that is wasted on administrative overhead," said Naomi Pilosof Ionita, Partner at Menlo Ventures, Decent’s lead investor."I am eager to see Decent transform the way self-employed people receive healthcare, and support this under-served market by offering more affordable options."
BEING DECENT, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
As a child, many big words were thrown at me without mostly any real explanation from the adults saying them.Somehow, in my house, the mere fact of using a word meant we ‘automatically’ understood it and all the meanings it entails.Yes, we were probably playing the game Heroes of Words and Victims of Meanings.Can you relate?
When I finally started questioning everything, I mean everything, I became fascinated with how much I have been taking for granted all these years or, even worse perhaps, misunderstood partially or completely.
For example, let’s take the case of decency.
Does the GLWC implement the living wage?
No, the coalition produces the calculations, or benchmarks.It supports efforts to implement these benchmarks by sharing lessons learned through its website and through collaborative private- and public-sector forums.
How can we support a global living wage?
Stay informed! Sign up for updates here.
How does the GLWC determine what a living wage should be for different countries?
Researchers determine living wages not only for different countries, but for different areas within countries, since the cost of living can vary greatly within a single country, and from rural to urban settings.Our researchers base food-cost estimates on a low-cost, nutritious diet that meets World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients, incorporating local food costs into their calculations.(This is more rigorous than other methods which ensure only a certain number of calories.) Housing costs are estimated using NGO and national standards for decency (e.g.dwellings that have permanent walls, waterproof roofs, electricity, water, and sanitary toilet facilities).Once researchers arrive at the total cost for one person to have a decent life, they multiply that by the number of people in a family of typical size for the area, then add a small margin for unexpected events such as illnesses and accidents.
How many regions have living wage benchmarks so far?
The GLWC has completed 22 benchmarks across 20 countries, with additional benchmarks in progress or planned.
Is decency asking someone to ignore or deny a person/situation completely?
I can go on and on with examples on how the word decency has been found thrashed around so easily, at least by/with me.
Is the Rainforest Alliance using these benchmarks in its work on the ground?
Absolutely.The Rainforest Alliance is collaborating, for example, with banana farms, banana-trading and -buying companies, the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), and other sector actors to pilot living wage implementation mechanisms in Costa Rica and Belize.Like all GWLC members, the Rainforest Alliance has adopted the GWLC’s definition of a living wage, and this definition informs how we design and audit against living wage criteria in our sustainability standards.The Rainforest Alliance is also working with partners in coffee supply chains to understand the costs and opportunities in implementing a living wage, since we know that farms can’t always do it alone.
Others or Self?
When I started questioning everything, I mean everything, I realized I was using the word decency to mainly control others.
What are the basic needs that a living wage should cover?
The elements of a decent standard of living include food, water, housing, education, health care, transportation, clothing and other essential needs, including provision for unexpected events.
What are the main obstacles to achieving a global living wage?
The main obstacle is that employers can’t always implement a living wage alone—especially given the small margins in many of these businesses.The whole supply chain, as well as national governments, need to participate to make a living wage a reality.
What are VitalSource eBooks?

What does decency entail?
When I was a small child and my mother said, “Can you please be decent?”, she was asking me to go put on some clean clothes because company was coming.
What is a global living wage?
The GLWC drew from more than 60 existing living wage descriptions to arrive at this succinct definition: “A global living wage is remuneration received for a standard workweek by a worker in a particular place sufficient to afford a decent standard of living for the worker and her or his family.
What is DCore?
Launched in 2017, DCore is a stable, customizable and cost-efficient open-source blockchain platform you can build on.As the world’s first blockchain dedicated to digital content distribution, DCore provides software development kits to empower developers and businesses to build the real world decentralized applications, makes it easier for everyone to be connected on blockchain.
What is DECENT?
The story of DECENT originated when the Founder, Matej Michalko, recognized the unfair conditions content creators had to endure to have their works published and made available to the general public.Intermediaries generally charge up to 70% of the artists’ revenue for distribution costs.Blockchain’s traceable and decentralized architecture enabled Matej and his team to develop a safe, transparent and fair solution for content creators to publish their work, and DCore was born.
Who created the methodology used for these calculations?
Living wage experts Richard Anker (formerly of ILO) and Martha Anker (formerly of WHO) spent more than 15 years testing and perfecting various aspects of this methodology.The Anker Methodology has catalyzed global action on living wages and has been used to estimate living wages in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas around the world.
