A Peer to Peer Protocol represents a set of rules and procedures that enable direct communication and interaction between individual nodes within a decentralized network. This protocol allows participants to exchange data, assets, or services without the need for a central intermediary. It forms the foundational layer for distributed systems, ensuring censorship resistance and direct value transfer. This architecture promotes network autonomy.
