Quality Property

Definition

A quality property refers to a desirable characteristic or attribute of a blockchain system or digital asset that contributes to its overall utility and value. These properties can include aspects such as decentralization, security, scalability, finality, privacy, or interoperability. For a blockchain, a strong quality property might be its resistance to censorship or its ability to process a high volume of transactions efficiently. For a digital asset, it could be its liquidity, utility within a specific ecosystem, or its verifiable scarcity. Evaluating these attributes helps stakeholders assess the suitability and long-term prospects of various crypto projects. They are benchmarks against which technological advancements are measured.
