When dealing with implicit knowledge in blockchain systems, you face two main paths: either build mechanisms to capture and surface it, or simplify the architecture to minimize its necessity altogether.

From a practical standpoint, the second approach tends to win out. Reducing implicit knowledge—stripping complexity, making protocols explicit and measurable, designing cleaner on-chain mechanics—proves more robust than trying to encode what's hidden in the first place.

Why? Because capturing the invisible is hard. But eliminating the need for it in the first place? That's where protocol design actually moves the needle.
