Restaking & Exposure

Tangle’s security model starts with restaking: delegators deposit assets and delegate to operators. A delegation can optionally constrain where that capital is used via blueprint selection mode.

What “Exposure” Means

When a service is created, each operator is assigned an exposure basis-points value (0–10,000). Exposure is used to:

  • Weight fee distribution between operators and restakers
  • Bound effective slashing and dispute calculations
  • Tie security commitments to restaked capital (optionally per-asset)

Delegation + Blueprint Selection

Delegators can delegate “globally” (all blueprints) or restrict delegation to a fixed set of blueprint IDs.
