Decentralized Transactions

Definition

Decentralized transactions are operations on a distributed ledger that are validated and recorded by a network of participants rather than a single central authority. These transactions are typically immutable and transparent, with their execution verified by consensus algorithms. They form the fundamental building blocks of blockchain networks, enabling peer-to-peer value transfer and the execution of smart contracts without intermediaries. The integrity and efficiency of decentralized transactions are paramount to the security and functionality of digital assets.
