Decentralized Data Infrastructure

Definition

Decentralized data infrastructure is a system for storing and managing information across many computers, not just one central server. This infrastructure type distributes data storage, processing, and access across a peer-to-peer network, eliminating reliance on a single central authority. It employs blockchain technology, distributed ledger technology, or similar cryptographic methods to ensure data integrity, security, and censorship resistance. Such systems enhance data availability and resilience by removing single points of failure.
