Protocol Economic Design

Definition

Protocol economic design refers to the deliberate construction of incentives and rules that govern the economic behavior of participants within a blockchain protocol. This encompasses tokenomics, fee structures, reward mechanisms, and governance models, all aimed at fostering network security, utility, and sustainability. A well-conceived economic design aligns the interests of users, developers, and validators. It is fundamental to a protocol’s long-term viability and success.
