Definition ∞ An economic governance protocol establishes the rules and procedures for managing the financial aspects and incentive structures of a decentralized network. This protocol dictates how network fees are collected and distributed, how new tokens are issued, and how economic parameters are adjusted. It aims to maintain the long-term economic stability and security of the system by aligning participant incentives. Such protocols are fundamental to the sustainable operation of many blockchain projects.
Context ∞ The effectiveness of economic governance protocols is under constant scrutiny, especially when networks face economic stress or significant changes in market conditions. News often covers proposals and debates regarding adjustments to fee structures or tokenomics to address scalability or security concerns. Research focuses on designing robust economic models that can withstand adversarial conditions and adapt to evolving user needs.
