Protocol Vulnerabilities

Definition

Protocol vulnerabilities refer to weaknesses or flaws in the design, code, or economic model of a blockchain protocol or decentralized application (dApp) that can be exploited by malicious actors. These weaknesses can lead to unauthorized access, fund theft, market manipulation, or disruption of service. Identifying and mitigating these vulnerabilities is paramount for the security and integrity of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. They represent critical points of failure for digital assets.
