An economic design flaw describes an inherent defect in the incentive structures or tokenomics of a decentralized protocol or digital asset. Such a flaw can lead to unintended market behaviors, instability, or exploitation by malicious actors. These weaknesses often become apparent under specific market conditions or through sophisticated arbitrage strategies. Rectifying these issues is vital for long-term sustainability.

Current discussions focus on rigorous economic modeling and simulation before deployment to identify and address potential weaknesses. A critical future development involves the adoption of more resilient and adaptable economic frameworks that can withstand adversarial conditions.
