On-Chain Incentive Design

Definition

On-Chain Incentive Design refers to the systematic creation and implementation of reward mechanisms that are directly coded into a blockchain protocol or smart contract. These incentives are structured to motivate participants to perform actions that benefit the network, such as providing security, validating transactions, or contributing to decentralized applications. The design dictates how tokens or other forms of value are algorithmically distributed based on predefined on-chain behaviors. This ensures transparent and automated compensation for network contributions.
