Financial Coordination Mechanisms

Definition

Financial coordination mechanisms are structured systems or protocols that enable multiple parties to align their economic actions and resources towards a common objective. In decentralized finance, these often involve smart contracts, decentralized autonomous organizations, and incentive designs that facilitate collective investment, lending, or liquidity provision. They allow for complex financial operations to occur without central authority, distributing control and risk among participants. This allows for new forms of economic collaboration.
