Trustless Digital Systems

Definition

Trustless digital systems are decentralized networks or applications designed to operate without requiring participants to trust a central authority or intermediary. Instead, trust is established through cryptographic proofs, transparent protocols, and consensus mechanisms that verify transactions and maintain the system’s integrity. This design principle is fundamental to blockchain technology, ensuring security and immutability through mathematical certainty rather than reliance on human entities. Such systems minimize counterparty risk.
