-* Trustless networks governed by a common consensus, like public blockchains, use economic models based on token rewards and clear punishments built upon a secure consensus algorithm. The consensus algorithm gives a basic layer of trust where all participants “keep an eye on one another” preventing misbehaviors, and upon which the economic model is built to align all their goals. A good example of this model is Bitcoin, where the Proof of Work consensus algorithm prevents attacks, the mining rewards and deflationary nature of the currency ensures that Providers will be incentivized to keep serving, and users to keep holding the network’s currency.
