Permissionless Access

Definition

Permissionless access allows anyone to participate in a network or system without needing prior approval or authorization. This fundamental characteristic of many public blockchains means that individuals can interact with the protocol, send transactions, or deploy applications without gatekeepers. It removes centralized control, fostering open innovation and global participation. Permissionless access is a core tenet of decentralization, promoting inclusivity and censorship resistance.
