Trust-Minimized Execution

Definition

Trust-Minimized Execution describes the process of carrying out transactions or operations on a blockchain with reduced reliance on intermediaries or centralized third parties. This approach limits the need for external trust by relying on cryptographic proofs and decentralized consensus mechanisms. It aims to enhance security and censorship resistance by enabling direct, verifiable interactions. This is a core tenet of decentralized systems.
