Trustless Co-Partner

Definition

A trustless co-partner refers to an entity or protocol that can collaborate in a decentralized transaction or system without requiring either party to rely on the other’s honesty or a central authority. This is achieved through cryptographic proofs and smart contracts that automatically enforce agreed-upon rules, ensuring all participants act according to the protocol. The system design removes the need for interpersonal trust, substituting it with verifiable computational integrity. This arrangement enables secure interactions in permissionless environments.
