Definition ∞ A decentralized mirror refers to a replica or representation of an asset, data, or system that is maintained and validated across a distributed network rather than a single central authority. This distributed approach ensures redundancy, censorship resistance, and enhanced data integrity. It permits access to information or assets even if the original source becomes unavailable or compromised. Such systems enhance resilience and availability within digital infrastructures.
Context ∞ Decentralized mirrors are critical for ensuring the robustness and availability of Web3 applications and data storage solutions. They address points of centralization inherent in traditional internet infrastructure, which can be susceptible to single points of failure or censorship. The current focus involves developing efficient and secure methods for creating and synchronizing these distributed replicas. This technology supports the vision of a more resilient and permissionless digital future.
