A Value Capture Mechanism refers to the specific design elements within a decentralized protocol or digital asset that enable it to accrue and retain economic worth. This mechanism dictates how the protocol generates revenue, distributes fees, or creates scarcity, thereby transferring economic utility to its token holders or participants. Examples include transaction fees, burning mechanisms, or staking rewards. It is fundamental to the long-term economic viability of a digital asset project.
