# Security and Governance Actors

### Recursive Portfolio Diversification

Recursion on Canopy means that Nested Chains under a Security Root become Security Roots with Nested Chains.

With a unique architecture like this comes a unique opportunity:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Double rewards, double roles:**

Participants earn both the `Security Root’s token` and the `Nested Chain’s token`, diversifying rewards and opportunities across multiple layers.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Independence graduation**:

Nested Chains elevate into Security Roots,  growing their ecosystem and community, creating new reward streams, and having full sovereignty, achieving the L1 premium.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**The cycle begins again**:

New Security Roots support new Nested Chains. See step 1.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
This cycle creates an ever-expanding network effect of portfolio diversification, allowing value capture at each generation.
