Protocol Safety

Definition

Protocol safety refers to the inherent security and resilience of a blockchain protocol against various attacks, vulnerabilities, and operational failures. It encompasses the robustness of its consensus mechanism, cryptographic primitives, and smart contract logic. A safe protocol ensures the integrity of transactions, the immutability of the ledger, and the availability of the network. This attribute is paramount for user trust and the sustained operation of any decentralized system.
