Administrative control denotes the authority an individual or entity possesses over a digital system, protocol, or asset. This power permits modifications, updates, or governance decisions that shape the functionality and parameters of the digital infrastructure. It often involves centralized decision-making capabilities, presenting a contrast to decentralized models. Such control determines who can initiate changes or manage resources within a crypto project.
