Blockchain Fairness

Definition

Blockchain fairness refers to the equitable distribution of opportunities and outcomes within a decentralized network. This concept concerns preventing undue advantage in transaction ordering, resource access, and reward allocation among participants. It addresses potential issues such as Maximal Extractable Value MEV exploitation and the concentration of control in validator sets. Achieving fairness is a continuous objective for blockchain protocol designers seeking to uphold decentralization and user trust.
