A Protocol Defense Layer refers to a specific set of security mechanisms, rules, or code built directly into the foundational architecture of a blockchain or decentralized protocol. This layer is designed to protect the integrity, functionality, and data within the protocol itself from various forms of attack or manipulation. It acts as a primary barrier against external threats and internal vulnerabilities. Such a layer is fundamental to network resilience.
Context

For example, enhancements to a blockchain’s consensus mechanism or the introduction of new smart contract safety features constitute strengthening this layer. A robust protocol defense layer is crucial for preventing token holder loss and ensuring the long-term viability of digital assets.
