decentalized
Decentralized is a term used to describe systems in which authority, control, or data are distributed across multiple nodes rather than being concentrated in a single central authority. In practice, "decentralized" is the standard spelling in American English, while "decentralised" is common in British English. The form "decentalized" is rare and generally considered a misspelling or typographical variant of "decentralized." When encountered, it typically intends the same concept of distributed governance or operation.
In technology, decentralization refers to networks that operate without a single point of trust or control.
Advantages of decentralization include resilience to failures and censorship, improved transparency, and broader participation in decision-making.
