# Economic Security

Economic security in the context of trustless bridging refers to the mechanisms that protect against financial attacks, such as double-spending or transaction reversal, through economic incentives and penalties. For Zayn Network, developing models that can effectively evaluate and mitigate potential economic threats within cross-chain operations is crucial. This involves researching and implementing staking requirements, slashing conditions, and other economic safeguards that align the interests of all network participants towards maintaining network integrity.
