Whistleblowing Protocol

Definition ∞ A whistleblowing protocol in the context of blockchain refers to a decentralized system designed to facilitate secure, anonymous, and tamper-proof reporting of misconduct. It leverages cryptographic techniques and the immutable nature of distributed ledgers to protect the identity of the whistleblower. This system ensures the integrity and verifiability of submitted evidence. It offers a secure channel for disclosures.
Context ∞ These protocols hold significant potential for enhancing transparency and accountability within organizations and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Crypto news may highlight the development and implementation of such systems as a means to address ethical concerns and promote good governance in the digital asset sector. Their application aims to protect informants from retaliation.
