Peer to Peer Finance

Definition

Peer to Peer Finance involves direct financial transactions and services between individuals without the need for traditional intermediaries. This model utilizes decentralized networks, often powered by blockchain technology, to facilitate lending, borrowing, and asset exchange directly between participants. It removes the reliance on banks or other centralized institutions, aiming to reduce costs, increase accessibility, and enhance user control over funds. The system relies on smart contracts to automate and secure agreements.
