Native Token Mechanisms

Definition

Native token mechanisms are the fundamental ways a blockchain’s own digital currency functions within its network. These are the core operational processes and rules governing the issuance, distribution, utility, and economic incentives of a blockchain’s intrinsic digital asset. This includes staking, governance participation, transaction fee payments, and network security contributions. These mechanisms are fundamental to the blockchain’s economic model and its ability to maintain decentralization and security.
