# Cryptoeconomic Security

The Vanna Network offers cryptoeconomic security in the form of a staking contract on the application layer. When inference nodes come online to participate in securing the network, they must post Vanna tokens as collateral in the staking contract. The staking contract enforces behavior of the inference nodes, with slashing conditions including but not limited to:

1. **zkML** - Generating proofs that are invalid and cannot be verified cryptographically
2. **opML** - Successful challenges to the inferences generated by the node
3. **zkFP** - Successful challenges to the inferences generated by the node, or the inability to generate a ZK SNARK proving the inference
