Protocol Bootstrapping

Definition

Protocol Bootstrapping refers to the initial process of launching and establishing a new blockchain protocol or decentralized application, particularly concerning its initial liquidity, user base, and network security. This phase often involves strategies like token distribution events, initial liquidity offerings, or early incentive programs to attract the necessary participants and resources. The goal is to generate sufficient momentum and network effects to ensure the protocol’s self-sufficiency and operational viability. It is a critical period for any new digital asset project.
