Permissionless Trading

Definition

Permissionless trading allows any individual to exchange digital assets without requiring approval from a central authority. This type of trading is a core feature of decentralized exchanges and many DeFi protocols, where transactions are executed directly between users via smart contracts. Participants do not need to undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) checks or obtain special access to engage in buying or selling. It promotes open access to financial markets, removing barriers often present in traditional or centralized systems.
