Using video NFTs—by minting, collecting, or trading them—impacts airdrop eligibility by demonstrating engagement with the high-bandwidth, storage-intensive niche of digital collectibles. This is a more complex and costly form of on-chain activity than image NFTs. It signals support for a specific vertical within the broader NFT ecosystem. Platforms specializing in video NFTs would likely reward such early adopters in their own token distributions, and broader ecosystem airdrops may view this diverse activity favorably.

What thresholds of cross‑slashing correlation destabilize restaked ecosystems? There is no single universal threshold, as destabilization depends on the total value restaked (TVR) and the capital efficiency expectations of stakers. However, we can model a critical threshold. If the expected yield from restaking rewards is outweighed by the expected loss from correlated slashing, rational stakers will withdraw. For instance, if a staker anticipates a 5% annual reward but models a 2% annual probability of a 30% loss from a correlated slash, their risk-adjusted return turns negative. The ecosystem destabilizes when a significant portion of stakers reach this conclusion. The threshold is therefore a function of the correlation coefficient and the severity of the potential slash. A high correlation

What thresholds of cross‑slashing correlation destabilize restaked ecosystems? There is no single threshold, but the ecosystem becomes critically unstable when the correlation coefficient between major AVSes approaches +0.5 or higher. At this level, failures are significantly linked, meaning a problem in one AVS makes a problem in another very likely. The true danger is a cascade. If AVS A and B are highly correlated, a slash event on A could cause its operators to withdraw or be jailed, reducing the security and increasing the load on AVS B, which is already under stress from the same root cause, potentially triggering its own failure. This positive feedback loop can rapidly drain economic security from the entire ecosystem. The destabilization is not just a statistical measure but a dynamic process of collapsing security under correlated stress.
