Economic Model for Interchain Security (PSS)

As the Cosmos ecosystem evolves, a comprehensive understanding of the economic implications of Interchain Security 2.0 (PSS) is essential for both chains and validators to navigate this new environment. To address this need, AADAO has awarded a $15,000 grant to Pro Delegators.

Leveraging this grant, Pro Delegators will build a comprehensive model to navigate this new economic framework for both validators and consumer chains. To ensure the community was also prepared, they will produce an extensive educational video explaining the technical and fundamental changes introduced by PSS.

These efforts, detailed in a forum post, aim to enhance network participants’ and consumer chains’ understanding of PSS and raise community awareness of its valuable impact on the AEZ, helping to ensure a smoother transition and greater engagement with the new economic framework.
