# Decentralization and security

The platform adheres to the basic principles of decentralization for the best development and to avoid stagnation in development. 

Each user can apply for changes in the platform's operation and other users can support or reject this application. All applications are open for discussion and revision. 

All disputes within the platform are resolved through user arbitration, without a centralized management system. 

All transactions are made through a smart contract, which ensures complete security for both parties to the transaction.
