Definition ∞ Stable miner behavior in cryptocurrency refers to consistent and predictable actions by mining entities that contribute to network security and stability without causing undue market disruption. This involves a steady rate of block production, adherence to network rules, and a measured approach to selling mined assets, rather than large, erratic distributions. Such behavior helps maintain the integrity and predictability of the blockchain.
Context ∞ The stability of a proof-of-work cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is significantly influenced by its miners’ behavior. Consistent mining operations and a lack of aggressive selling pressure from miners can contribute to a reduced sell off risk in the market. Deviations from stable behavior, such as sudden large sales, can introduce volatility and impact price.
