Utility-based incentives are rewards or benefits offered to users for engaging with a cryptocurrency protocol or application in specific ways. These incentives are designed to encourage desired behaviors that contribute to the network’s functionality, security, or growth, such as providing liquidity, staking tokens, or participating in governance. They are typically distributed in the form of native tokens or other digital assets. The design aims to align user actions with the protocol’s long-term objectives.
