Decentralized Streaming

Definition

Decentralized streaming refers to the delivery of audio or video content across a distributed network of computers rather than through centralized servers. This approach leverages peer-to-peer technology to distribute content, potentially offering greater resilience, censorship resistance, and reduced reliance on single points of failure. Users often contribute bandwidth to the network, creating a more robust and community-driven content distribution system. This model contrasts sharply with traditional, server-based streaming services.
