## Quote — verbatim

> Decentralization — I think if you remove enough layers, you'll see the biggest risk is not the actual software but actually people building the software and the roadmap. So who sets the roadmap and who delivers the roadmap, all that is done in the open. That's a big part of Akash's decentralization approach.
