Protocol Building Blocks

Definition

Protocol building blocks represent the fundamental, modular components or foundational elements utilized to construct more elaborate blockchain protocols and decentralized applications. These discrete units can include consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, smart contract standards, data storage solutions, and interoperability layers. Their reusability and standardized interfaces enable developers to assemble robust and scalable systems efficiently. The quality and security of these blocks directly influence the overall integrity and performance of the resulting decentralized infrastructure.
