Misbehavior Monitoring

Definition

Misbehavior monitoring refers to the systematic observation and detection of undesirable or malicious actions within a blockchain network or decentralized protocol. This includes identifying attempts at double-spending, consensus violations, or dishonest participation by validators or nodes. Effective monitoring systems are crucial for maintaining network security, trust, and the integrity of the distributed ledger. They often employ cryptographic proofs, reputation systems, and automated alerts to identify anomalies.
