Rewards Mechanism

Definition

A rewards mechanism is a system within a blockchain protocol or decentralized application designed to incentivize user participation, network security, or specific behaviors through the distribution of tokens or other digital assets. These mechanisms can include staking rewards, liquidity provider incentives, play-to-earn payouts, or governance participation bonuses. They are fundamental for aligning participant interests and driving the growth of a decentralized ecosystem. Effective design is crucial for sustainability.
