Decentralization: The distribution of functions, powers, people, or things away from a central authority. In technology, this often refers to distributed networks, like blockchain and peer-to-peer systems, where control is spread across all nodes, enhancing resilience and reducing single points of failure. It can also describe organizational structures where decision-making is shared to improve flexibility and responsiveness.
