Protocol enhancements refer to upgrades or modifications made to the underlying rules and functionalities of a blockchain or decentralized system. These improvements aim to optimize performance, increase security, add new features, or improve scalability of a network. Enhancements can range from minor code adjustments to significant changes in consensus mechanisms or data structures, often requiring community consensus through governance processes. Such upgrades are crucial for the ongoing evolution and competitiveness of blockchain platforms in the rapidly changing digital asset landscape.
