Definition ∞ Decentralized Infrastructure Funding is the process of financing public or shared digital infrastructure projects through distributed and often token-based mechanisms. This method minimizes reliance on centralized intermediaries, allowing broader participation in capital provision. It aims to democratize investment and governance in foundational digital systems.
Context ∞ A primary discussion point concerns the scalability and regulatory compliance of decentralized funding models for large-scale infrastructure. A critical future development involves the maturation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their ability to effectively govern and allocate resources for complex infrastructure initiatives.
