Due diligence protocols are structured procedures followed to investigate and verify information about a digital asset project, platform, or counterparty before engaging in a transaction or investment. These protocols assess risks related to technology, regulatory compliance, financial stability, and team background. For digital assets, due diligence often involves analyzing smart contract code, tokenomics, and community governance structures. They are essential for informed decision-making and risk mitigation in the crypto space.
