Compensation Protocol

Definition

A compensation protocol is a set of rules governing financial redress or rewards within a decentralized system. These protocols define how participants receive remuneration for services, contributions, or losses incurred due to system failures or security incidents. They often operate through smart contracts, automatically distributing tokens or other digital assets based on predefined conditions and verifiable events. The design aims to maintain network stability, incentivize positive behavior, and provide recourse in an autonomous environment.
