Decentralized

/diːˈsɛntrəlaɪzd/adjective / verb (past participle)
ELI5 mode

Decentralized describes a system, organization, or network where authority, control, and decision-making are spread out across multiple points rather than concentrated in a single central entity, promoting greater resilience and autonomy. In today's digital landscape, it's often associated with technologies like blockchain, which reduce risks of single-point failures and enhance user privacy. This approach challenges traditional hierarchies, fostering innovation in fields from finance to governance.
