Technical Definition & Carrier Engineering Standards
Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is an immutable cryptographic ledger system mandated by telecommunications regulatory authorities (such as TRAI under TCCCPR 2018) to prevent unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) and sender ID spoofing. Under DLT compliance, principal entities (enterprises), telemarketers, commercial headers (sender IDs), and content templates must be registered and cryptographically verified across carrier nodes before SMS traffic can be submitted to MNO gateways.
