# AIA Chain Economic Design Principles

1. **Usability**: End users and developers should have predictable and consistent pricing for network usage. Data loss should never occur.

<br>

2. **Scalability**: The platform should be able to scale within reasonable thresholds.

<br>

3. **Simplicity**: Each system component's design should be as simple as possible to achieve its primary purpose.

<br>

4. **Sustainable Decentralization**: Barriers to participating as a validation node should be kept as low as possible to encourage widespread participation. Over time, participation should not concentrate wealth and control among a few individuals. Future transactions must be as secure as those conducted today to ensure the value of modifications.
