Economic Consistency

Economic consistency refers to the property that a protocol's internal financial incentives and rules are aligned and free from contradiction. In a derivative protocol, this means that the pricing models, liquidation triggers, and reward structures must work together to maintain stability.

If these components are inconsistent, the protocol can be exploited for profit at the expense of its users. Achieving economic consistency requires a deep understanding of market dynamics and game theory.

It is the foundation of long-term protocol viability. A consistent protocol remains stable even during extreme market stress.
