Collusion Proofness

Definition

Collusion proofness describes a system’s ability to resist attempts by multiple participants to cooperate unfairly for mutual benefit, often at the expense of others. In blockchain contexts, this property ensures that malicious actors cannot coordinate to manipulate network operations or transaction validity. It is a critical security attribute for decentralized systems, aiming to maintain integrity and fairness. Mechanisms like cryptographic proofs and economic incentives contribute to achieving this resilience.
