Dual-layer Security: The Restaking Agreement provides a dual-layer security model where validators not only stake an initial amount of collateral but are also required to restake additional assets for higher-risk operations, like cross-chain transactions. This additional collateral guarantees that the validator is financially invested in the success and integrity of the operation. The dual-layer system ensures that if validators act maliciously or fail to validate correctly, they stand to lose both their base stake and restaked collateral. This strengthens the security of each transaction processed within the Akashic ecosystem.
Financial Accountability for Validators: Restaking makes validators financially accountable for their actions. This ensures that validators have a strong incentive to act honestly because they stand to lose a significant amount of their own collateral if they are found to be dishonest. This setup creates a self-regulating system that discourages malicious behavior, ensuring a secure and trustworthy network.
Cross-chain Risk Management: Cross-chain transactions introduce additional risks, such as double-spending or invalid data transfer. The restaking mechanism mitigates these risks by requiring validators to commit additional collateral before validating cross-chain operations. This ensures that validators have a greater incentive to double-check transactions and prevent fraudulent activities.
