decentralizes

Spreads control outward

Decentralizes means to distribute power, authority, or functions away from a central location or governing body.

Organizations decentralize when they shift decision-making to regional offices or local units: The company decentralized its operations to give branch managers more autonomy.

In technology, decentralized systems like blockchain operate without central control.
