Explicit Bidding

Definition

Explicit Bidding refers to a process in decentralized marketplaces or auction systems where participants openly declare their offers for an asset or service. Unlike implicit bidding mechanisms, explicit bids are directly observable and recorded on-chain or within a transparent ledger. This transparency allows all parties to see the current highest offer and the progression of the auction. It is a common feature in non-fungible token (NFT) marketplaces and certain decentralized finance protocols.
