Bitcoin’s ecosystem is a battleground. Miners compete head-to-head for the coinbase reward, burning energy and hashing power to come out on top. Users? They’re stuck duking it out for blockspace, bidding up transaction fees just to get a spot. It’s player-versus-player (PvP) all the way—everyone’s out for themselves, and the system thrives on that tension.

Then there’s Zenon. It flips the script. Validators don’t claw at each other for rewards; they share the coinbase like a team splitting the operator rewards. Users aren’t rivals either—plasma lets them share network traffic without the fee wars. It’s player-versus-environment (PvE), where the focus shifts from competition, to collective progress.

What do you think of the analogy?
