There are two incentive problems that Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains inevitably encounter that undermines network scalability:
1⃣ Tragedy of The Commons Problem
2⃣ Free-rider Problem

These are types of problem that lead to market failure wherein individuals can profit by behaving in ways that imposes cost on the whole ecosystem.

Tragedy of The Commons Problem:
❗️ Miners make money today by putting data on the blockchain that must be supported by other network members in the future
❗️ There is a privatization of gain (today) and a socialization of losses (tomorrow)

❗️ Tragedy of the Commons Problem is a problem that usually leads to blockchain bloat (renders the whole network unusable - AKA network collapse)

Free-rider Problem:
❗️ participants maximize profits by refusing to perform necessary but costly activities like running p2p infrastructure, and spending their money instead on the narrow set of paid network activities

❗️Gains are privatized while losses are socialized onto whoever remains to perform the unpaid work
❗️The Free-Rider Problem encourages participants to fund mining and staking at the expense of equally important work like running non-excludable network infrastructure

How does Saito Network eliminate Tragedy of The Commons Problem?
Solution: Introduce a market-based pruning mechanism to the blockchain
Effect: Transactions will pay their fees out to block producers over time rather than all-at-once

Result:
✅This prevents nodes from adding transactions to the chain that do not pay enough fees to cover the actual costs of operating the blockchain (eliminating blockchain bloat)

✅ This also fixes several other intransigent problems, such as allowing the network to properly calculate the cost of on-chain storage into perpetuity (storing data on a blockchain forever)

Result:
✅The consensus makes the overall network more secure
✅ The consensus fully eliminates economic attacks (51% attack, Sybil attack, Spam etc)
