Value Transfer Protocol

Meaning

A Value Transfer Protocol is a standardized set of rules and procedures that govern the secure and verifiable movement of digital assets or economic value between entities across a network. In the crypto domain, this specifically refers to blockchain protocols like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which define how transactions are created, broadcast, validated, and recorded on an immutable ledger. Its primary purpose is to enable trustless, peer-to-peer exchange of value without reliance on traditional intermediaries.
