Algorithmic Mechanism

Definition

An Algorithmic Mechanism represents a set of programmed rules designed to achieve specific outcomes. In digital asset systems, these mechanisms govern various functions, such as transaction validation, asset issuance, price discovery, or network consensus. They operate autonomously, executing predefined instructions to maintain system stability, security, or economic incentives without direct human intervention. The effectiveness of such a mechanism is determined by its design and its capacity to withstand adversarial conditions.
