The Trustless Trade Supply Chain

Trades are fundamental to defi. Without credibly neutral trade execution – we risk the same centralisation and rent extraction through privileged actors that we have in tradfi.

However, a trustless, and decentralised trade supply chain is possible. This talk highlights the current and future technologies that make it possible.
