Trustless Protocols are systems that operate without requiring participants to place faith in a central authority or counterparty. Instead, their security and integrity are maintained through cryptographic proofs, game theory, and verifiable code execution on a distributed ledger. This design minimizes the need for interpersonal trust, relying on algorithmic certainty.
Context
The concept of trustless protocols is foundational to decentralized finance and blockchain technology, frequently appearing in news concerning new applications and network upgrades. Discussions often revolve around the robustness of these protocols against adversarial attacks and their capacity for autonomous operation. The ongoing challenge is to ensure that the mathematical and computational guarantees of trustlessness are consistently upheld as systems scale and evolve.
