Strategy-Proof Protocol

Definition

A Strategy-Proof Protocol is a system designed such that participants cannot gain an advantage by misrepresenting their true preferences or private information. In the context of digital assets and blockchain, this means the protocol’s rules incentivize honest behavior, making it the optimal strategy for all rational actors. Such protocols aim to prevent manipulation and ensure that the system operates efficiently and fairly. The design ensures that truthful reporting is always the best course of action for each participant.
