# Economics
|
||||
|
||||
Serai's economics change depending on which of three eras is currently
|
||||
occurring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Genesis Era
|
||||
|
||||
The network starts with the "Genesis" era, where the goal of the network is to
|
||||
attract the liquidity necessary to facilitate swaps. This period will last for
|
||||
30 days and will let anyone add liquidity to the protocol. Only with its
|
||||
conclusion will SRI start being distributed.
|
||||
|
||||
After the Genesis era, the network enters the "Pre-Economic Security" era.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-Economic Security
|

|

{: .definition-title }
|
||||
> Definition: Economic Security
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Economic security is derived from it being unprofitable to misbehave.
|
||||
> This is by the economic penalty which is presumed to occur upon misbehavior
|
||||
> exceeding the value which would presumably be gained.
|
||||
> Accordingly, rational actors would behave properly, causing the protocol to
|
||||
> maintain its integrity.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> For Serai specifically, the stake required to produce unintended signatures
|
||||
> must exceed the value accessible via producing unintended signatures.
|
||||
|
||||
With liquidity provided, and swaps enabled, the goal is to have validators stake
|
||||
sufficiently for economic security to be achieved. This is primarily via
|
||||
offering freshly minted, staked SRI to would-be validators who decide to swap
|
||||
external coins for their stake.
|
||||
|
||||
## Post-Economic Security
|
||||
|
||||
Having achieved economic security, the protocol changes its economics one last
|
||||
time (barring future upgrades to the protocol) to a 'normal' state of
|
||||
operations.
