Protocol economic security refers to the resilience of a blockchain protocol against attacks that exploit its economic incentives, ensuring that the cost of attacking the network outweighs any potential gain. This involves designing tokenomics and consensus mechanisms that align participants’ financial interests with the network’s integrity. Robust economic security is vital for maintaining trust and preventing malicious behavior. It underpins the entire system’s reliability.
Context
Protocol economic security is a constant concern for blockchain developers, particularly with the rise of sophisticated attacks targeting decentralized systems. Research focuses on refining proof-of-stake mechanisms and other consensus models to enhance their economic robustness. Maintaining adequate security while also ensuring scalability and decentralization remains a significant challenge for the industry.
