How Does Decentralization Contribute to the Trustlessness of Smart Contracts?

Decentralization means the smart contract code and its execution history are distributed across many nodes in a network. No single entity controls the contract, making it censorship-resistant and transparent.

This distribution ensures that the agreed-upon terms are executed exactly as coded, without external interference or manipulation.
