# Interchain Proof of Stake and Reputation Spectra utilizes a novel consensus mechanism called I-PoSR. Unlike traditional staking which relies on a single native token, Spectra security is anchored by the diversified value of the assets bridged into the system. A validator influence is determined by the total value and risk profile of the cross-chain assets delegated to them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
