Definition ∞ Worker Collusion Resistance is the ability of a decentralized system to prevent or mitigate negative outcomes when a group of participants attempts to cooperate maliciously. This property ensures that even if a subset of network participants acts in concert to subvert the system, the protocol remains secure and fair. It is vital for maintaining network integrity and trustworthiness.
Context ∞ This is a key design consideration in proof-of-work mining, delegated proof-of-stake, and other consensus mechanisms. Robust collusion resistance is essential for the long-term security and trustworthiness of blockchain protocols. Ongoing research continually seeks to strengthen these defenses against coordinated attacks and maintain the system’s intended operational parameters.
