Intersubjective Faults

Intersubjective faults refer to errors or discrepancies within a system that are broadly recognized by reasonable, active observers, such as cases of data withholding. However, these faults involve aspects of network behavior that are external to the chain's built-in verification mechanisms and cannot be directly detected or verified by the blockchain protocol itself.

Solutions to manage intersubjective faults typically involve creating additional layers of governance or introducing mechanisms such as off-chain reporting, arbitration systems, or enhanced transparency measures to ensure that participants' actions align with the network's expectations and rules.

EigenLayer's EIGEN token enables a mechanism to address intersubjective faults.
