Decentralized Auction Theory

Definition

Decentralized auction theory investigates the design and analysis of auction mechanisms operating without a central authority. It considers how to achieve desired economic outcomes, such as efficient resource allocation and truthful bidding, in distributed network environments. This theoretical framework addresses challenges like information asymmetry, collusion risks, and censorship resistance inherent in decentralized settings. It aims to create fair and robust market designs for digital assets and services.
