Ethereum Protocols

Definition

Ethereum protocols are the established sets of rules and standards that govern the operation and interaction of applications and services on the Ethereum blockchain. These protocols include standards for token creation like ERC-20 and ERC-721, as well as communication standards for decentralized applications. They dictate how smart contracts function, how transactions are validated, and how network participants interact. Adherence to these protocols ensures interoperability and functionality across the Ethereum ecosystem.
