Slashing Questions

from soph : keep those questions handy, they can become a FAQ we can share eventually

Ratio and Distribution of Slashed Stake

  • Original: 50% burn and 50% reward

Prevention of Proposer Taking Whistleblower Reward

Possibilities:

  • Pool of validators running in “slashing mode” that will share the slashed amount
    • The leader would not be in “slashing mode”, thus would be not possible for it to be part of the slashing pool
  • Soph : what about a community address similar that can be decided by the validator community what to do with it ? (ie similar as the fee collection or the emission split)
  • Soph : what’s the issue for the proposer to take the reward ?
  • What about whoever detects and announce the double signing to get the reward ?

More Question from soph: 1) what happened once a validator is detected of double signing ? Is he directly being force taken offline ?

2) What if the proposer is the one double signing ?
