Abstract

As an infrastructure for economic systems, blockchain technology challenges the role of traditional intermediaries and enables the creation of novel market designs and value chains. We utilize this potential and design a decentralized market framework that allows users to trade complex financial assets, such as stocks, in an intermediary-free setup. Overall, our prototype implements the basic software structure of this market framework, illustrates the feasibility of decentralized market mechanisms, and highlights potential use cases as well as limitations.
