Adaptive Protocol Behavior

Definition

Adaptive protocol behavior refers to a blockchain network’s capacity to modify its operational rules automatically in response to changing conditions. This capability allows a decentralized system to dynamically adjust parameters such as transaction fees, block size, or consensus mechanisms to maintain optimal performance and security. Such adjustments are typically executed through predefined logic or governance structures, enabling the protocol to sustain its integrity and functionality amidst varying network loads or external factors. This characteristic is crucial for long-term viability in dynamic digital asset environments.
