Decentralization Incentives are rewards or mechanisms specifically designed to encourage broad and distributed participation within a blockchain network. These incentives aim to prevent central points of control by distributing power and responsibilities among numerous independent actors. They motivate participants to act in ways that uphold the network’s security and censorship resistance. Such mechanisms are fundamental to the operational philosophy of many digital asset systems.

These incentives are critical for maintaining the core ethos of blockchain technology, promoting network health and resilience. The design of these reward structures directly impacts network security, governance, and long-term viability.
