👉 A paid fluid, often referred to as a "paid liquidity" or "fuel," is a term used in blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystems to describe the financial incentives provided to network participants, such as miners or validators, to encourage them to maintain and operate the blockchain network. These participants are rewarded with tokens or other digital assets for their computational efforts, which include validating transactions, securing the network, and ensuring its overall integrity. The payment for these services is typically in the form of transaction fees or newly minted tokens, and it serves as a crucial economic mechanism to sustain the network's operation, incentivize participation, and prevent malicious activities.
