This article outlines a framework for designing for future decentralization from the onset, offering tips on how to transition over time and giving the analogy of remote working for context. To do this effectively requires understanding the different dimensions of decentralization and when to move forward with it; investing in relevant technology and documentation is also essential. With careful planning, it is possible to gradually decentralize while still enjoying the benefits it offers. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.
