Our wheels are still turning after last week’s Secure Staking Alliance event at #ETHDenver2024! The private event was attended by leading protocols, validator operators, insurers, and security experts ready to start collaborating on standards for (re)staking security. Find out more at https://lnkd.in/gJew3Wkr.
Here’s what we heard:
1/ There’s a lot of (deserved!) hype around the rewards of #restaking protocols—but end-users can lose sight of the risks. Restakers should deeply understand slashing conditions for every protocol they’re involved in, and protocols must clearly communicate the risks to the public.
2/ That said, Web3 has a transparency advantage over Web2: so much happens in the on-chain “public forum.” The more we can use public information to quantify risk and resilience, the better off we’ll be.
3/ Operational security matters. Even if you’re using a transparent, decentralized system secured by the newest, most post-quantum signature schemes, storing your key in a file called secret.txt is gonna get you.
We appreciate our esteemed speakers for sparking valuable discussions that are setting the tone for our work on validator security standards! 🎤 J. Gdanski, Benjamin Sepanski, Daniel Tong, Justine Bone, Fraser Brown, Eric Vreeland, Sebastian Banescu, David Tse, Riad S. Wahby, Stanley W., Soubhik Deb, Edgar Roth
