Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms are online services that allow individuals to connect and interact directly with one another, bypassing traditional intermediaries. These platforms facilitate various activities, such as sharing resources, lending money, or exchanging goods and services. Examples include Airbnb for accommodation sharing and eBay for buying and selling items. P2P platforms leverage technology to create a marketplace where users can engage in transactions safely and efficiently. They often include features like user ratings and reviews to build trust among participants. This model promotes collaboration and can lead to cost savings for users while providing opportunities for income generation.
