Centralized Distribution describes a system where a single entity or a limited group controls the allocation and dissemination of assets, information, or services. This model relies on a singular authority to manage and oversee the entire distribution network. The central party makes decisions regarding supply, access, and pricing, maintaining direct control over the flow of resources. Such systems are prevalent in traditional finance and some early digital asset offerings.
