Operational disruption refers to an event that interrupts the normal functioning of a system, service, or business process. In the context of digital assets and blockchain, this can manifest as network outages, transaction processing delays, smart contract vulnerabilities leading to halted operations, or regulatory actions that force service cessation. Such disruptions can result in financial losses, loss of user trust, and reputational damage. Mitigating operational disruption requires robust system design, continuous monitoring, and effective incident response plans.
