@NewtonProtocol Should a new blockchain network be built from the ground up, or is it more realistic to build on an already established security framework?
At first, question came to my mind while I was reading about Newton Protocol’s AVS (Actively Validated Service) network. One thing in particular caught my eye..... their AVS network is being secured through EigenLayer Restaking. While it may seem technical at first, it’s actually a simple concept that we all use in our daily lives.
Imagine a large shopping mall that used to have a security guard. Now, an experienced and trained security team has taken over. When you enter a store, you don’t have to trust anyone else, because you have built trust in the entire security system. EigenLayer Restaking seems to me to be a lot like that. Instead of building a completely new security system, Newton Protocol is trying to strengthen its AVS network by using an already established financial security framework. From the perspective of a normal user, it’s very simple. When we use a smart contract, we don’t usually see how the security works inside. But we want our transactions to go through a network that is heavily weighted towards security. Because blockchains are inherently flawed. Once something is done, it can be difficult to undo. So the strongr the security foundation, the greater the peace of mind.
I'll be honest:
This is even more important for developers or experienced traders. With EigenLayer Restaking, Newton Protocol's AVS network benefits from a strong economic level of security. This means that the validation process of the network is made more reliable, and the security incentives are tied to an established Restaking model. This reduces the pressure to build a completely separate security economy for a new network from the ground up, which is a realistic approach from an infrastructure perspective. Of course, there is a real trade-off. If the goal is to increase security, some additional verification or adjustment may be required. Many people only look at speed, but for large amounts of assets or important smart contracts, the question is not just "how fast", but "how safe". This balance seems to me to be the most important. It is also important from a psychological perspective. Most people are not afraid of technology, they are afraid of invisible risks. When you know that the security of a network is built on a stronger economic foundation, then trust naturally increases as a user. This trust is not built on any advertising, but by understanding the security framework. The most important thing for me is that Newton Protocol is not just trying to strangthen its own network here. This method of strengthening AVS security using EigenLayer Restaking can also be an important reference for future decentralized infrastructures. If this model is successful in the long run, it can show that building a new network does not mean starting everything from scratch, but rather building a more reliable infrastructure based on an established security foundation.
And then I can't help but say one thing. Is this really a lack of any security layer?
Or is it a nice explanation of a very old problem?
Both are possible.
And this ambiguity is what makes the subject interesting.
I am now looking at the subject not with conviction, but with observation..... because the most dangerous place in DeFi is not exaggeration, but overconfidence👍
