Definition ∞ A normal codebase refers to the standard, expected, or primary version of a software program or protocol that functions as intended without specialized alterations or elevated access. In blockchain development, this represents the publicly available and audited code that defines the network’s rules and operations. It serves as the baseline for all legitimate interactions and deployments. Deviations from this standard often signal a security risk or an experimental branch.
Context ∞ The concept of a normal codebase is fundamental to the transparency and security of open-source blockchain projects. Any deviation from this standard, particularly in critical infrastructure, is typically examined by the community and security researchers. Maintaining a well-documented and auditable normal codebase is a continuous effort to ensure trust and prevent unauthorized modifications.
