Cosmos Interchain Security · interactive mechanism simulation

Hub validators replicate to a consumer chain over CCV/IBC → consumer fees and MEV flow back to Hub stakers → validator infrastructure cost is netted against that revenue. Edit the parameters and watch the ledger tip.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched ICS mechanism (CCV replicated validator sets, Top-N participation thresholds, IBC-relayed slashing evidence, consumer fee/MEV revenue sharing) and the reported 2024 finding that validator costs ran roughly 16x revenue, but figures, timing, and the "sovereignty exit" shock are simplified for visualization — not live onchain data.
