How Does the Legal Framework Supplement the Cryptographic Security in a Consortium Blockchain?

The legal framework, typically a set of contractual agreements between the member organizations, supplements cryptographic security by providing a mechanism for non-cryptographic enforcement. It defines the governance rules, dispute resolution procedures, and financial penalties for malicious or non-compliant behavior.

While cryptography ensures the technical integrity of the ledger, the legal agreements enforce the trust model and provide recourse against an organization that breaches the consortium's rules.
