KelpDAO announces integration with Zeru Finance's zScore system to enhance user verification and combat fraudulent activities.
Key points:
- AI-powered reputation system analyzes on-chain behavior
- Helps distinguish genuine users from bots and farmers
- Focuses on rewarding authentic community contributors
- Builds on previous reputation verification initiatives
This partnership aims to strengthen the protocol's security and ensure fair distribution of rewards to legitimate participants.
We are partnering with @zerufinance to use zScore - an AI-powered reputation system that analyzes onchain behavior patterns to identify genuine users vs farmers and bots. 馃 No more getting rekt by sybil wallets. Just genuine contributors getting rewarded. 馃尡
Airdrops are broken. Protocols reward the loudest, not the most loyal. Bots win. Real users get diluted. Retention suffers. @KelpDAO is changing that by using zScore to power smarter, reputation-based airdrops. Here鈥檚 how 馃У

The Economic Logic of Stake-Backed Ethereum Security
Every additional ETH staked on Ethereum creates an exponential increase in network security through a mathematical relationship between stake and attack difficulty. Here's how it works: - Each new validator raises the cost of attacking the network - Staking rewards create economic incentives for honest validation - Slashing penalties deter malicious behavior - Kelp protocol enhances this security model by enabling liquid restaking The combination of these mechanisms creates a positive feedback loop where increased stake leads to greater security, which attracts more stakers. *Technical deep-dive available at:* [KernelDAO Blog](https://blogs.kerneldao.com/blog/the-economic-logic-of-stake-backed-ethereum-security)
