Definition ∞ Collusion Prevention involves designing protocols and systems to deter or detect coordinated malicious actions by multiple participants against the system’s integrity. In decentralized networks, this often targets scenarios where a group of actors might cooperate to manipulate consensus, censor transactions, or unfairly benefit at the expense of others. Mechanisms such as economic incentives, reputation systems, and random selection contribute to mitigating such risks.
Context ∞ Maintaining the integrity of decentralized networks is a constant challenge, with news frequently discussing potential vulnerabilities to collusion, especially in proof-of-stake systems or decentralized autonomous organizations. Debates surround the effectiveness of various anti-collusion measures and the ongoing research into more robust cryptoeconomic designs. Preventing coordinated attacks remains a primary focus for protocol developers and security researchers alike.
