Definition ∞ A multi-proposer game describes a scenario in game theory or blockchain consensus where several participants can simultaneously suggest the next block or solution. This mechanism contrasts with systems where only one entity is designated to propose. It introduces competition and strategic considerations among potential block creators. Such games are relevant in certain proof-of-stake protocols.
Context ∞ The concept of a multi-proposer game is central to optimizing fairness and decentralization in various blockchain architectures. Discussions often revolve around how to design incentive structures that prevent collusion and promote honest behavior among multiple proposers. Future developments involve refining these mechanisms to enhance network security and efficiency, particularly in scaling solutions.
