This allows developers to dynamically scale the security of their cross-chain interactions by increasing the number of oracles participating in validation. * **How Additive Security Works**\ Rather than relying on a single source of truth, Hashi collects validation results from multiple oracles. As more oracles participate in validating block headers and messages, the security of the system increases. This model ensures that even if one or several oracles are compromised, the overall integrity of the system is maintained. * **Dynamic Security**\ Developers can adjust the security threshold based on their specific needs. For routine transactions, fewer oracles may be sufficient, but for high-stakes interactions, the number of validating oracles can be increased to ensure maximum security. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://crosschain-alliance.gitbook.io/hashi/core-concepts/additive-security-model.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
