# Protocol
# Appendix
This section gives further details about the structures that will be used by the protocol. Since Streamlet consensus protocol will be used at early stages of the Blockchain development, we created hybrid structures, to enable seemless transition from one protocol to the other, without the need of a blockchain forking.
## Blockchain
\begin{tabular}{||c c c||}
\hline
