This means Ethereum’s ability to defend itself - and the assets built on top of it - rests on a simple equation: the cost of corruption must exceed the value at risk.
The Upper Bound on Real-World Assets Ethereum Can Secure
Ethereum’s economic security has hard limits.
- Market cap: ~$524B (ETH at ~$4,300)
- Staked ETH: 35M ETH (~$152B)
At current levels:
- A finality violation would require control of 23M ETH.
- A censorship/halting attack requires 11M ETH.
