Questions
How much economic security is enough?
Blockchains establish consensus by committing the economically relevant resources of many different network participants. The collaborative efforts of all honest participants multiply the respectively provided resources in the form of economic security. There are reasons for those participants to join the network and there are limits to the efficacy of the generated economic security. Said reasons and limits are not well defined. Neither are the underlying dynamics of the relationships between those reasons and limits. This topic requires more rigerous analysis, at best on the basis of case studies, experiments and historical references.
Which mechanisms establish base trading pairs onchain?
The tokenization of real world assets is a new trend onchain. Ethereum is the default public blockchain chosen by tokenization issuers. ETH the asset is part of the onchain trading pairs today, alongside stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Given that stablecoins and other tokenized assed are going to be proliferated further, the underlying forces allowing ETH to remain part of the base trading pairs onchain are not formally established. This topic requires economic equilibria to be defined, at best on the basis of case studies, experiments and historical references.
