The Economic Logic of Stake-Backed Ethereum Security
The Economic Logic of Stake-Backed Ethereum Security
🔐 ETH Security Goes Exponential
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.
