Open Source Tools

Definition

Open source tools are software and code freely available for public use, modification, and distribution. The source code for these applications is publicly accessible, fostering transparency, collaborative development, and security through widespread peer review. In the digital asset space, many foundational blockchain protocols, cryptographic libraries, and decentralized applications are constructed using open source principles. This collaborative approach accelerates innovation and builds community trust by allowing anyone to inspect and contribute to the software.
