◼️17/100 Block-by-Block: Mechanism design in Web3

One thing I learned about: Mechanism design in Web3

People create blockchains with an outcome in mind.

Mechanism design is about how to achieve that outcome:

  • 'Game theory in reverse': Design rules aiming at the given outcome
  • Often assumes self-interested and rational actors
  • Web3 uses: consensus, auctions, governance, tokens, public goods
