Shared security, as the name suggests, means that the sub-chains of the Cosmos ecosystem can inherit the security of the parent chain "Cosmos Hub".
The shared security sub-chain is also called the ATOM consumption chain. The reason why it is called a consumption chain is that the sub-chain has to "pay" to obtain services.
Shared security sub-chains provide incentives to Cosmos Hub validator nodes to obtain network security. #cosmos
