Research shows large token reserves alone don't guarantee proof-of-stake blockchain security.

New research from the Cardano Foundation reveals that having a large reserve of tokens is not enough to ensure the long-term security of proof-of-stake blockchains. The study introduces a state-dependent reserve threshold that categorizes network security into three states: complete failure, reserve-dependent security, and fee-only security. It highlights that market volatility can affect security despite substantial reserves, and the way rewards are drawn from reserves (percentage-based vs fixed payouts) impacts sustainability. This framework helps investors and protocols better assess security risks beyond just reserve size.

Cardano Foundation's research on proof-of-stake security is presented here with Pluang's market data for context. As of Oct 13, 2026 20:51 WIB, out of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang, 7 rose and 42 fell. Notable price changes include BAL (Balancer) at Rp16.297 with an 11.14% increase, ONE (Harmony) at Rp31 down 9.13% with 83% sell order activity, and EOS (EOS.IO) at Rp12.649 up 8.13%.
