Everything built should be built to not depend on the social layer. No matter how strong and effective the social layer is the probability of it degrading is non 0 and only increases with time.

IMHO the social layer is what keeps things decentralized. Otherwise it is LSTs/restaking all the way.

People might try to exploit the system, must prevent that for sure. However, Ethereum relies on electricity and internet. It will not work after a nuclear war, right?
