Definition ∞ Decentralized publishing describes systems that enable content creation and distribution without reliance on central authorities or intermediaries. This model leverages distributed ledger technology or peer-to-peer networks to host and disseminate information, granting creators greater autonomy. It fundamentally alters the traditional publisher-author relationship by removing gatekeepers.
Context ∞ The emergence of decentralized publishing platforms is a significant development in the digital content landscape, offering alternatives to established media conglomerates. These systems often utilize blockchain technology to record ownership, manage access, and facilitate direct remuneration to creators, sometimes through native tokens. Current discussions focus on their scalability, censorship resistance, and the economic models that can sustain a diverse range of content creators and audiences in a permissionless environment.
