# Centralization

Thanks to blockchain, we are moving towards an economy of trust without the need for third-party authorities. However, crowdfunding campaigns still raise funds predominantly through centralized platforms. The so-called "creators" - developers collect donations for their projects through centralized platforms such as "GoFundMe," "Kickstarter," and "Indiegogo." These central network architectures are built around a single server infrastructure that monitors the entire processing,  storing, and social network interactions. This means that all data in a centralized network must pass through one point. Although they enable users to create projects and pledge funds to others, centralized crowdfunding platforms do not have advanced features.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://teslafantoken.gitbook.io/white-paper/a-decentralized-crowdfunding-platform/3.2/3.2.2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
