# Decentralization As mentioned earlier, we believe that the protection of data sovereignty is the core keyword of Web 3.0 and the key to its success. The core of data sovereignty lies in decentralization. Users directly manage the data they create, and allow others (individuals and companies) to access or use their data only by their own choice. Centralized companies or organizations cannot arbitrarily access these individuals' data, and this decentralized system effectively realizes true data sovereignty. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://ontactprotocol-team.gitbook.io/ontactprotocol_en/experiments-to-realize-data-sovereignty/decentralization.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
