Peer-To-Peer Layer

Definition

The Peer-To-Peer Layer in blockchain technology constitutes the foundational network of interconnected nodes that communicate directly with each other without central authority. This layer facilitates the broadcast and reception of transactions and blocks, ensuring the decentralized propagation of information across the network. It forms the backbone of blockchain security and censorship resistance. This direct communication enables participants to interact securely and autonomously.
