While decentralization can remove barriers around the transfer of information and speed business processes, it does come with risks that businesses must be prepared for.
Decentralization requires businesses to deliver great experiences to more segmented customers. Advertisers who targeted a single media outlet now might have that same audience spread across various Substack newsletters. Businesses must work harder to meet customers where they are. This requires an approach to identity management that mitigates friction without losing security in the process.
