definition

Replay protection ensures that a transaction valid on one chain cannot be accepted on another. This can be implemented at the protocol level (e.g., different sighash rules or opcodes) or handled by wallets via coin-splitting and chain-specific metadata.

Example 1.1

"Following a hard fork, the chain may adopt unique signature hashing rules so signatures from one chain are invalid on the other, preventing replays."
