Network Security Levels

Definition

Network security levels quantify the robustness and resilience of a blockchain protocol against various attack vectors, including malicious actors, censorship, and systemic failures. These levels are determined by factors such as the total staked value, the distribution of validation power, cryptographic strength, and the effectiveness of consensus mechanisms. A high security level instills confidence in the immutability and integrity of the ledger. It is a critical determinant of network trust.
