Decentralized Guard Protocol

Definition

A decentralized guard protocol refers to a set of rules and mechanisms within a distributed network designed to protect against malicious activities or system failures without relying on a central authority. These protocols typically employ cryptographic proofs, consensus algorithms, and economic incentives to ensure network integrity and security. They distribute responsibility for oversight and enforcement across many independent participants. Such protocols are fundamental to maintaining trust and resilience in permissionless digital asset systems.
