Converging Cosmos & Ethereum: A Restaking & Shared Security Deep Dive | Sreeram & Zaki

Today Michael and Myles are joined by Zaki of Sommelier Finance and Sreeram of Eigenlayer for a deep discussion on the converging visions of Ethereum and Cosmos. They analyze how restaking could serve as a bridge between the two ecosystems, providing security to Cosmos chains while opening up new services for Ethereum. Zaki explains how the evolutionary "marketplaces of ideas" tend to succeed over centralized visions, while Eigenlayer offers flexible shared security and permissionless innovation. The group explores attributable versus pooled security, the endgame landscape with ETH as the dominant liquid asset, and optimizing staking models.
