An on-chain economy refers to the economic activity that occurs directly on a blockchain, including transactions, smart contract interactions, and the exchange of digital assets. It encompasses the value creation, transfer, and consumption within a decentralized network’s native environment. This economy operates under the transparent and immutable rules encoded in the blockchain protocol. It represents a self-contained digital financial system.
Context

A key discussion involves balancing the desire for open, permissionless participation with the need for regulatory clarity and consumer protection. Future developments will likely see greater integration with real-world assets and services, expanding the scope and utility of these digital economies. The health and activity of an on-chain economy are vital for the long-term viability of its underlying protocol.
