Will subchains compete for resources with other chains? Could some chains get stronger and other dissapear without support of miners, sharders, etc?
@noloco thats something we need to sort out in the governance protocol. In the creation phase, stakeholders need to debate those issues and vote. But in the event a chain gets less transaction or blocks created, the miners/sharders won't be affected because they get a token payout regardless, and their infrastructure is a sunk cost. So if they want more traffic/blocks created, they would need to lower their prices, and the economics would be similar to the infrastructure upgrade cycle process in any cloud infra today.
If you're talking about consensus getting weaker, that will not happen because its decoupled from traffic/storage, and is based on the consensus parameter for that particular chain. Additionally if miners are involved in other chains, their combined reputation would be affected by anything they do malicious in the weaker chain, such as collude to pass a bad transaction.
