Engagement incentives are rewards offered to users for their active participation and contributions within a digital platform or ecosystem. These mechanisms, often denominated in cryptocurrency tokens, aim to encourage desired behaviors such as content creation, curation, governance participation, or liquidity provision. By financially compensating users for their activity, platforms seek to build vibrant, self-sustaining communities and drive network effects. The design of these incentives is crucial for long-term user retention and ecosystem growth.

Engagement incentives are a core component of many Web3 projects, particularly in decentralized social media, gaming, and content platforms, frequently discussed in crypto news. Debates often concern the sustainability of these reward models, the potential for sybil attacks or manipulative behaviors, and how to genuinely align user interests with platform objectives. Effective incentive design is considered vital for the success of decentralized autonomous organizations and user-owned internet experiences.
