A trustless exchange is a decentralized platform that allows users to trade digital assets directly with one another without requiring a centralized intermediary to hold funds or manage order books. Transactions are executed via smart contracts, removing the need for trust in a third party. This architecture enhances security by minimizing counterparty risk and censorship potential. Users maintain full control over their assets throughout the trading process.
Context
Trustless exchanges represent a fundamental shift in digital asset trading, prioritizing decentralization and user sovereignty over the custodial model of traditional exchanges. Discussions often address the trade-offs between the security of trustless systems and the liquidity or user experience offered by centralized platforms. Future developments will likely involve improvements in user interfaces, order matching efficiency, and cross-chain capabilities to make trustless exchanges more competitive and accessible for a broader audience.
