Frequently Asked Questions
A blockchain protocol defines the technical rules that control how a blockchain records, validates, and secures transactions. It ensures that nodes communicate properly, consensus is reached fairly, and the network remains tamper-resistant and transparent.
Custom protocols give companies control over transaction logic, consensus rules, and permission levels. This is useful for businesses that need private data handling, industry-specific compliance, or integration with internal systems.
Protocol development includes architecture planning, smart contract logic, node configuration, consensus setup, token rule creation, and network deployment. Companies like Malgo offer end-to-end development of both public and permissioned blockchain protocols.
Consensus mechanisms—such as Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, and Delegated Proof of Stake—define how nodes agree on the blockchain state. The chosen method affects transaction speed, energy use, and resistance to attacks.
Protocols that support smart contracts, fast finality, and cross-chain compatibility are best suited for DeFi and NFT projects. Malgo builds custom blockchain protocols that support stablecoins, utility tokens, and NFT standards across networks.
