How Can Incentive Mechanisms and Blockchain Benefit with Each Other? A Survey

In a blockchain-based system, the lack of centralized control requires active participation and cooperative behaviors system entities to ensure security sustainability. However, dynamic environments unpredictable entity challenge performances such systems in practice. Therefore, designing feasible incentive mechanism regulate becomes essential improve blockchain performance. The prosperous characteristics can also contribute an effective mechanism. Unfortunately, current literature still lacks thorough survey on mechanisms related understand how make each other better. To this end, we propose evaluation requirements terms properties costs mechanisms. On one hand, provide taxonomy according versions, forms, goals. categorize application scenarios During review, discuss advantages disadvantages state-of-the-art based proposed requirements. Through careful present benefit with other, discover number unresolved issues, point out corresponding potential directions for future research.
