# GHOSTDAG Protocol vs. Bitcoin's Decentralization

While pruned nodes present an innovative solution to address the storage problem brought about by high TPS, it's crucial to consider the broader implications of this approach on network decentralization and neutrality. The **GHOSTDAG protocol**, as detailed by Sutton and Wyborski, introduces a set of rules that miners must follow to support secure pruning of the DAG. The protocol's main proposition suggests that if certain conditions are met, blocks can be safely pruned without compromising the integrity of the network.

In contrast, **Bitcoin**, the original decentralized cryptocurrency, has been tested over a decade and has proven its commitment to neutrality and decentralization. Its consensus mechanism ensures that no single entity can control or dominate the network<sup>1</sup>. As Bitcoin's popularity grew, so did its transaction volume, leading to scalability challenges. However, the Bitcoin community has explored and implemented several scaling solut
