Definition ∞ Cooperation credit represents a non-monetary value assigned for constructive participation within a decentralized network. This credit system typically incentivizes beneficial actions, such as validating transactions, contributing to governance proposals, or providing computational resources. It functions as a reputation metric, often influencing a participant’s voting power or access to certain network privileges. The allocation mechanism is usually defined by the protocol’s underlying rules to promote network health.
Context ∞ The efficacy of cooperation credit systems remains a key discussion point in decentralized governance and community building. Their implementation aims to mitigate sybil attacks and align participant incentives with long-term network success. News often reports on protocols experimenting with these models to strengthen community engagement and operational stability.
