An economic security model is a theoretical framework that describes how incentives and costs influence the behavior of participants within a decentralized system, particularly in the context of security. This model predicts how rational actors will behave given the protocol’s rules and economic parameters. It provides a basis for designing robust blockchain mechanisms that deter malicious activities.
Context
The development of robust economic security models is a central area of academic and industry focus, aiming to ensure the long-term viability of blockchain protocols. A key debate involves the assumptions underlying these models and their applicability to real-world market dynamics and human behavior. Future developments include integrating more advanced behavioral economics and machine learning to create adaptive and predictive economic security models.
Game theory proves private orderflow and latency asymmetries drive MEV-Boost to an oligopoly equilibrium, requiring new trustless orderflow mechanisms.
A new sharding model leverages proactive secret sharing and global slashing to eliminate the 1/N security vulnerability, enabling scalable and robust decentralized architectures.
The Stubborn Nakamoto protocol modifies Bitcoin's core rules to achieve provable economic security and permissionless design, decoupling finality from energy expenditure.
