Cryptocurrency Economics: Token Distribution, Ownership, and Market Decentralization
- Cryptocurrency economics play a significant role in blockchain-based economies, focusing on token distribution, ownership, and secondary markets.
- Initial token distribution is crucial, with various blockchain systems adopting different approaches like ICOs or mining incentives to allocate tokens.
- Token ownership diversity is vital for blockchain security, preventing the concentration of tokens in a few hands that could compromise the system's integrity.
- Factors driving token ownership centralization include initial centralized token allocation and incentives favoring hoarding rather than spending tokens.
- Secondary markets, where tokens are primarily distributed, face challenges like limited liquidity, lack of privacy guarantees, and susceptibility to market manipulation.
- Limited marketplaces and trading pairs pose risks to system stability and security, as fluctuations in token valuations can affect mining profitability and system liveness.
- Decentralization in token distribution and ownership helps ensure a healthy and sustainable blockchain ecosystem, mitigating risks associated with centralized control.
- Various blockchain projects have explored different mechanisms for token generation and distribution to promote a fair and diverse ownership landscape.
- The presence of custodians, rich participants, and centralized exchange platforms can impact token ownership diversity and secondary market decentralization.
- Inadequate token distribution and ownership diversity can lead to vulnerabilities in PoS and PoW systems, compromising the security and stability of the blockchain.

Can Blockchain Stay Fair for the Long Haul?
- Protocols like Bitcoin, Algorand, and Ouroboros Praos allow resource holders to participate directly in the protocol, with block producers forming pools in PoW and PoS systems.
- Pool leaders validate transactions in PoW, while in PoS, leaders control block creation and members delegate staking rights to the leader.
- Temporal discounting influences pooling behavior, with small miners preferring frequent small payments over rare large payments.
- Systems like Cosmos and EOS restrict participation in consensus, requiring parties without enough stake to delegate rights to a validator.
- The security of a ledger relies on honest majority participation, with concentration of power among few entities posing a threat.
- Concerns include liveness, safety, and stability hazards from power concentration and behavior of block proposers in blockchain systems.
- Smart contracts enable MEV-type attacks, impacting stability; the proposer-builder separation model aims to mitigate these attacks.
- In PoS systems, lack of self-healing poses a threat as adversaries can retain control indefinitely by prohibiting power shifts during temporary takeovers.
- A diverse stake distribution is crucial for protecting against takeovers in PoS systems.

Eclipse Attacks, Network Clusters & DNS Seeding
- Blockchain nodes communicate over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, with researchers exploring decentralization properties.
- Network topology is crucial in terms of clustering properties and maintaining safety and liveness.
- Ledger systems must maintain connections to avoid eclipse attacks and ensure network partition tolerance.
- An attacker can compromise safety and privacy by isolating nodes in the network and controlling communications.
- Bootstrapping nodes need to connect to honest peers to avoid compromising system properties and privacy.
- Connecting to honest peers poses challenges due to the lack of knowledge about network participants.
- Catching up from genesis may not always be feasible, leading to potential safety violations in PoS systems.
- Maintaining network privacy and ensuring liveness are ongoing challenges in decentralized ledger systems.
- Some proposals aim to enhance privacy and security using computational assumptions rather than trusted setups.
