PoS Mechanism Design

Definition

PoS mechanism design refers to the architectural planning and construction of the rules, incentives, and algorithms governing a Proof-of-Stake blockchain. This involves creating a system where participants are rewarded for honest behavior and penalized for malicious actions or inactivity. The design aims to secure the network, promote decentralization, and ensure efficient consensus. It encompasses staking requirements, reward distribution, and slashing conditions.
