Protocol Framework

Definition

A protocol framework is the foundational set of rules and technical specifications governing a blockchain or decentralized application. This framework dictates how participants interact, how data is structured, how consensus is achieved, and how transactions are validated and recorded. It includes cryptographic primitives, data structures, network communication standards, and economic incentives that collectively define the behavior and security of the system. The robustness and design of this framework are paramount for the functionality and long-term viability of the digital asset.
