The Bear Case for Shared Security | S8 E8 | Sunny & Toghrul

Bell Curve

In this episode, Sunny, the Co-founder of Osmosis, and Toghrul from Scroll joined us to present the bear case for shared security. We discussed issues with Proof of Stake, the relationship between slashing and enshrining an LST, and the market size for restaking. Finally, we provide our thoughts on the intersubjective work token, and staking’s potential impact on the L1.

Thanks for tuning in!
