Protocol Maturity

Definition

Protocol maturity refers to the stage of development and stability a blockchain network or decentralized application has achieved over time. This assessment considers factors such as sustained operational uptime, battle-tested codebases, a robust developer community, significant user adoption, and a well-defined governance framework. A mature protocol demonstrates resilience against exploits, consistent performance, and a clear path for future enhancements. It signifies a reduced risk profile.
