Addressing the Diminishing Block Subsidy

The research presented in the thesis examines the challenges associated with the diminishing block subsidy, which is a critical issue within the domain of blockchain technology. The author provides an in-depth analysis of how this reduction in block subsidy could potentially impact network security and miner incentives. As block rewards decrease over time, there is a concern that the economic viability for miners may also decline, leading to decreased network participation and increased centralization risk.

Several solutions to counteract the negative effects of diminishing block subsidies are explored in the study. These include adjustments to transaction fee structures, the introduction of alternative incentive mechanisms, and potential modifications to blockchain protocols that could ensure more sustainable and equitable reward distributions among participants. Each proposed solution is evaluated based on its feasibility, potential impact on network stability, and the ability to maintain or enhance security measures.
