Decentralized Ownership

Definition

Decentralized ownership means that control and property rights are distributed across many participants, not held by a single entity. This concept is fundamental to many digital assets and blockchain protocols, where assets or governance rights are recorded on a distributed ledger. It removes the need for intermediaries, allowing individuals direct control over their digital holdings and participation in collective decisions. This structure aims to prevent single points of failure and enhance system resilience.
