A Protocol Owned Chain is a blockchain network specifically developed and maintained by a particular decentralized protocol or application to serve its unique operational needs. This dedicated chain provides a customized environment for the protocol, offering optimized performance, lower transaction costs, and greater control over its technical specifications. It avoids reliance on general-purpose public blockchains.
