Decentralization Incentive

Definition

A Decentralization Incentive is a mechanism designed to encourage distributed participation and discourage centralization within a blockchain network. These incentives often take the form of token rewards for validators, miners, or stakers who contribute to network security and operation. Their purpose is to align the economic interests of individual participants with the collective goal of maintaining a robust and distributed system. This structure helps resist single points of failure and censorship.
