Decentralized auctions are mechanisms for selling digital assets or allocating resources on a blockchain without a central authority. These auctions utilize smart contracts to automate the bidding, settlement, and asset transfer processes. Participants engage directly with the protocol, ensuring transparency and resistance to censorship. Various formats, such as English, Dutch, or Vickrey auctions, can be implemented through code.
