Equitable participation within decentralized systems refers to the fair and balanced distribution of opportunities and influence among all network participants. This concept aims to prevent undue concentration of power or rewards in the hands of a few, ensuring that a diverse range of users can contribute to and benefit from the system. It often involves designing protocols that minimize barriers to entry and distribute governance rights or economic benefits broadly. The goal is to foster a truly decentralized and inclusive ecosystem.

Achieving true equity remains an ongoing design and implementation challenge for many projects.
