  • BIS: Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms And Fragmentation

    Date 06/07/2026

    Key takeaways 

    • While all permissionless blockchains use token-based incentives to sustain honest validation, differences in how validator rewards, coordination and participation are structured lead to distinct equilibria and trade-offs between decentralisation, security and scalability.
    • These trade-offs underpin the emergence of multiple layer 1 networks and the expansion of layer 2 solutions, resulting in fragmentation of infrastructure, liquidity and assets across and within chains.
    • Tools to mitigate fragmentation – eg bridges and native multi-chain issuance – can reduce frictions, but they reintroduce new dependencies on trust, governance and operational resilience.
