Notable examples include Nexus Mutual and Chainproof. We are now entering a phase where traditional finance is increasingly moving onchain. At the same time, more sophisticated infrastructure is enabling new financial use cases, such as identity or reputation-based undercollateralized lending. In parallel, the rise of restaking has introduced new primitives for build](https://resources.symbiotic.fi/universal-staking-building-insurance-with-symbiotic-primitives) - ### [![](https://resources.symbiotic.fi/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/economic-security-for-guarantees-1.webp?width=800&height=450&name=economic-security-for-guarantees-1.webp) Research·Jun 5, 2025 Economic Security for Guarantees By extending the concept of shared security beyond traditional proof-of-stake consensus, Symbiotic creates a flexible coordination layer where staked assets can underwrite a wide range of use cases.](https://resources.symbiotic.fi/economic-security-for-guarantees) - ### [![](https://resources.symbiotic.fi/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/modeling-target-stake--1.webp?width=800&height=450&name=modeling-target-stake--1.webp) Research·May 23, 2025 Modeling Target Stake Requirements in Proof-of-Stake and Restaking-Based Networks Abstract This research in collaboration with TokenSight explores how networks can estimate the amount of stake (or collateral) required to operate securely under Proof-of-Stake or restaking-based models. It introduces a framework for calculating “target stake” based on variables such as total value at risk, attack profitability, validator behavior, and slashing conditions. It also accounts for added complexities introduced by restaking, including collateral reuse and cross-network risk, and pro](https://resources.symbiotic.fi/modeling-target-stake-requirements) Newer 1.
