Protocol Rules are the predetermined set of instructions and conditions that govern the operation of a blockchain network or decentralized application. These rules dictate how transactions are validated, how new blocks are added to the chain, and how participants interact within the system. They are typically encoded within the software and enforced by all network nodes. Adherence to these rules ensures the integrity and predictability of the protocol.

Debates surrounding such changes, particularly in major networks, reflect the ongoing governance processes within decentralized communities. Understanding these rules is essential for comprehending the fundamental behavior of any blockchain or digital asset.
