It’s still centralized.

It requires a central authentication server or controller and trusting that server.

It's decentralized in these regards:

- You can run your own root server(s) aka "Moons"[0] so the ZT root is not explicitly required.

- In v2.0 (not avail yet) this will further be enhanced so you'll be able to run your own 100% on your own root server infra if desired.

- The p2p network is can operate in isolation (without internet access) as long as communication with the root can be established.
