Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to explore how/if exchanges on blockchain technology can offer a more beneficial option to users in comparison to how traditional markets operate. My process has been diving into how traditional markets work, as well as centralized and decentralized exchange markets that exist on the blockchain. The appeal to multidisciplinary audiences is that blockchain technology has the potential to be used in many fields. The audience may take this information to be applied to their own discipline. In addition, people of all audiences tend to either operate in the markets or have someone who operates in the markets for them. For that reason as well, my research has relevance to most everyone.
