Decentralized autonomous economies are a type of economic system where decisions are made in a distributed and decentralized manner, without a central authority. This type of economy uses open-source technology and blockchain-based networks to create a self-regulating and self-governing economic system. In a decentralized autonomous economy, citizens can cooperate with each other to create and maintain the economic system without relying on a singular entity.

Decentralized autonomous economies are powered by autonomous agents known as smart contracts, which are digital contracts that are automatically executed and enforced by the blockchain network. These autonomous agents allow for an extremely secure and transparent system, as all transactions and decisions are verifiable and immutable. This system also removes the need for a central authority or government to oversee the economic system, which eliminates the possibility of corruption and manipulation.
