Protocol Hybrid

Definition

A protocol hybrid is a blockchain protocol that combines elements from different architectural designs, such as integrating aspects of both public and private ledgers, or permissioned and permissionless systems. This approach seeks to leverage the benefits of various models, for instance, achieving the transparency and security of a public chain with the privacy and scalability of a private network. Such protocols are designed to address specific use cases that require a blend of features not found in a single, pure design. They offer tailored solutions.
