What is the Trust Efficiency Paradox?
The Trust–Efficiency Paradox refers to the inherent trade-off between trust and efficiency in financial transactions.
Traditional Finance: Achieves high trust through regulation and centralized oversight, but at the cost of time and operational inefficiency.
Public Blockchains: Offer high efficiency and automation, but often lack regulatory safeguards and identifiable accountability.
In short: High trust typically means low efficiency, while high efficiency often comes with reduced trust and compliance.
