Fairness Matters: A Tit-For-Tat Strategy Against Selfish Mining
Summary: Introduces KL-divergence-based unfairness for selfish mining and Tit-for-Tat block promotion, adaptively withholding blocks based on fork-derived suspicion. Solves the resulting nonconvex delay-vector problem approximately, supporting asynchronous/dynamic networks and reducing unfairness by 54.62%. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
