【 摘 要 】

People will respond to incentives, so how to use reasonable and effective incentives to continuously encourage open source project participants, inspire their enthusiasm and development potential, is particularly important. The block chain open source community typically consists of project leaders, developers, users, and investors. The original intention of block chain tokens is to stimulate the ecosystem, and the incentive mechanism for tokens is effective in providing funds and generating incentives for project development. But the token incentive mechanism also has limitations. After the upsurge of block chain project creation and investment, it is necessary for project participants to raise their understanding of tokens, promote the forthcoming block chain open source projects to design tokens distribution scheme more carefully, trigger industry self-regulation, ensure fair distribution and practical application, and return to the original intention of issuing block chain tokens.
