Spam Mitigation Protocol

Definition

A spam mitigation protocol is a set of rules designed to prevent unwanted or malicious messages from flooding a network. This protocol employs various techniques, such as transaction fees, proof-of-work requirements, or reputation-based filtering, to deter actors from overwhelming system resources. Its purpose is to ensure legitimate communications or transactions can proceed without undue delay or cost. Such mechanisms are vital for maintaining the operational integrity of decentralized networks.
