论文摘要
区块链技术最具创新性的方面之一是引入激励层来调节分布式协议的行为。因此,区块链系统的设计师面临的问题类似于与经济机制设计相关的问题,并在计算环境中面对它们。从这个角度来看,本文主张了计算社会选择在区块链研究中的重要性。它在两个字段的界面上确定了一些挑战,这些挑战说明了它们之间的交叉施用潜力强大。
One of the most innovative aspects of blockchain technology consists in the introduction of an incentive layer to regulate the behavior of distributed protocols. The designer of a blockchain system faces therefore issues that are akin to those relevant for the design of economic mechanisms, and faces them in a computational setting. From this perspective the present paper argues for the importance of computational social choice in blockchain research. It identifies a few challenges at the interface of the two fields that illustrate the strong potential for cross-fertilization between them.
