Adaptive Incentives

Definition

Adaptive incentives are dynamic reward mechanisms that adjust based on network conditions or participant behavior. These systems automatically modify the compensation offered to users or validators within a blockchain protocol. The adjustments aim to optimize network performance, security, or decentralization by reacting to real-time data such as transaction volume, validator participation, or overall network health. Such mechanisms help maintain equilibrium and encourage desired actions in evolving digital asset environments.
