$LAYER involves restaking on Solayer, where each AVS carries unique risk. Correlated risks can be managed via future risk-tranching protocols, letting users choose exposure levels—from low-risk senior to high-risk junior—for optimized yield.

$LAYER The Actuarial Science of Restaking: Modeling Correlated Risk in AVS Portfolios

Pricing the Risk of Decentralized Trust

From an actuarial science perspective, restaking on Solayer ($LAYER ) is an exercise in pricing and managing a complex portfolio of insurance-like risks. Each Actively Validated Service (AVS) that a user restakes to represents a unique risk profile. The yield offered by the AVS is the "premium" paid for taking on this risk. The primary challenge for a sophisticated restaker is to model the **correlation of risk** between these different AVSs.

The Emergence of Risk Tranching $LAYER

A mature Solayer ecosystem will likely lead to the development of new financial products designed to manage this risk. We can anticipate the emergence of **risk tranching protocols** built on top of Solayer. These would allow restakers to choose their level of risk exposure for example, a low risk "senior" tranche that delegates only to the most established AVSs, and a high risk "junior" tranche for those willing to underwrite newer, experimental AVSs in exchange for a higher premium. This represents the financial maturation of the shared security market on Solana.
