# kaal:claim:6192998-037

**Claim.** Citation weighted systems become more secure over time at a faster rate than binary systems, because time to corruption scales superlinearly with accumulated transaction volume.

**Type.** predictive  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- measured against accumulated historical transaction volume
- tested via simulated attacks on testnet

**Source quote.**

> This extends the security analysis from Calcaterra, Kaal, and Andrei (2018, 15-18) to demonstrate that citation-weighted systems become more secure over time at a faster rate than binary systems.
