### Permissionless
|
||||
|
||||
A system is permissionless if it can be joined, interacted with, or used without the explicit authorization of any party, nor can any party revoke the ability to use the system.
|
||||
|
||||
An open system with no centralized control is permissionless. Examples include HTTP and Bitcoin.
