Decentralization or decentralisation is the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those related to planning and decision-making, are distributed or delegated away from a central, authoritative location or group and given to smaller factions within it.
Decentralized computing is the allocation of resources, both hardware and software, to each individual workstation, or office location.In contrast, centralized computing exists when the majority of functions are carried out, or obtained from a remote centralized location.
Federated architecture (FA) is a pattern in enterprise architecture that allows interoperability and information sharing between semi-autonomous de-centrally organized lines of business (LOBs), information technology systems and applications. Architecture areas of concern. Organisational architecture; Business architecture; Process architecture
A decentralised application (DApp, [1] dApp, [2] Dapp, or dapp [3]) is an application that can operate autonomously, typically through the use of smart contracts, that run on a decentralized computing, blockchain or other distributed ledger system. [4]
Decentralization is the North Star of the crypto industry—an ideal that requires blockchains beyond the control of any single central actor.
Decentralized computing has a long theoretical and practical history in the design of robust systems. The internet itself was designed around principles of decentralization, allowing an unknown network of machines to be organically connected, addressed, and updated over time without a central administration.
Graphical comparison of a centralised (A) and a decentralised (B) system. A decentralised system in systems theory is a system in which lower level components operate on local information to accomplish global goals.
They emerged within decentralized finance (DeFi), [3] a sector of blockchain technology and fintech. [6] Centralized exchanges (CEXs), DEXs and DEX aggregators are all built on a multi-layered DeFi architecture, with each layer serving a well-defined purpose.
