Protocol Sustainability

Definition

Protocol sustainability refers to a blockchain protocol’s long-term viability and operational health, encompassing its economic model, governance structure, and technical adaptability. A sustainable protocol can maintain its operations, incentivize participants, and evolve to meet changing demands without compromising its core principles. This includes factors like transaction fee models, validator rewards, and community decision-making processes. Ensuring sustainability is crucial for the enduring value of a digital asset.
