Decentralized Commerce

Definition

Decentralized commerce represents an economic system where trade and transactions occur directly between participants without reliance on central intermediaries like banks, payment processors, or traditional e-commerce platforms. It utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts to facilitate peer-to-peer exchanges of goods, services, and digital assets. This approach aims to reduce transaction costs, enhance transparency, and grant users greater control over their financial interactions. Decentralized commerce fundamentally alters traditional business models by removing central points of control.
