DLT Architecture

Definition

DLT architecture refers to the fundamental design and structural components of a distributed ledger technology system. This architecture defines how data is stored, validated, and synchronized across a network of independent nodes without a central authority. It encompasses the consensus mechanism, data structure, network protocols, and the rules governing participant interaction. The design choices within a DLT architecture directly impact its scalability, security, decentralization, and privacy characteristics.
