A value accrual mechanism describes the specific methods by which a decentralized protocol or digital asset is designed to capture and retain economic value over time. This can involve various strategies such as protocol fee collection, token burning, staking rewards, or governance rights that directly link token ownership to the success of the underlying system. The objective is to incentivize participation and align the interests of token holders with the growth and utility of the network. It provides an economic incentive for holding the asset.
