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
