A protocol flywheel describes a self-reinforcing cycle of growth within a blockchain protocol or decentralized application. This mechanism typically involves multiple interconnected components where an increase in one aspect, such as user adoption or developer activity, positively influences other aspects, like liquidity or network security. For instance, more users attract more developers, leading to better features, which then attracts even more users. This creates a virtuous loop that accelerates the protocol’s expansion and value accrual.
Context
The discussion around protocol flywheels centers on identifying sustainable growth models for decentralized ecosystems, particularly in competitive markets. A critical future development involves designing tokenomics and governance structures that effectively incentivize participation and maintain the momentum of these self-reinforcing cycles.
