Token Reward Manipulation

Definition

Token reward manipulation involves deceptive or unfair practices designed to artificially influence the distribution or value of digital token rewards within a blockchain protocol or decentralized application. This can occur through exploiting smart contract vulnerabilities, sybil attacks, or collusive behavior to gain an undue share of rewards. Such actions undermine the economic incentives and fairness of the system, potentially harming legitimate participants. It compromises the integrity of the reward mechanism.
