Decentralized networks

Decentralized networks distribute data and control across multiple computers instead of relying on a single central server. This setup enhances resilience, security, and transparency, as no single point of failure exists and participants can independently verify information. Examples include blockchain technology and peer-to-peer file sharing, where each participant maintains a copy of data, enabling a more resilient and censorship-resistant system. This structure contrasts with centralized networks, which depend on one main authority or server, making decentralized networks more robust and less vulnerable to outages or malicious attacks.
