A protocol breach signifies a security failure where the established rules or code of a blockchain protocol are violated, leading to unintended consequences. This can result in the exploitation of vulnerabilities, unauthorized access to funds, or disruption of network operations. Such breaches compromise the integrity and security guarantees of the underlying distributed ledger technology. Corrective measures are typically required to restore system functionality.
