Trustless Mediation

Definition

Trustless mediation refers to a system or process where disputes or disagreements between parties can be resolved without requiring a trusted third-party intermediary. In blockchain contexts, this is often achieved through smart contracts or decentralized oracle networks that execute predefined rules automatically based on verifiable external data. It eliminates the need for human arbiters or centralized institutions. This approach enhances transparency and reduces counterparty risk.
