slashing

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum Foundation protocol support lead Tim Beiko updated on X about the issues with the Holesky testnet Pectra upgrade.Beiko stated that a large-scale slash will be executed on the Holesky testnet tonight to finalize the blocks on the correct chain, which may last for 2 to 3 weeks until the weight of the slashed validators drops below 33% of the entire network.Beiko also mentioned that the upgrade schedule for the Sepolia testnet will not change, in order to provide a longer testing period for the mainnet upgrade. Issues related to the mainnet upgrade will be discussed at next week's ACDC meeting, but it is unlikely that a specific date will be determined.

ChainCatcher message, EigenLayer announced on platform X that the Slashing testnet is officially live. The proposed protocol upgrade (ELIP-002) introduces slashing, which is a key tool for executing the economic commitments of AVS.

ChainCatcher news, the official governance page shows that the Vite Network community has voted to approve the "slashing" hard fork upgrade proposal.This hard fork mainly targets the VITE consensus layer. When the local time of an sbp node is inaccurate, it will be unable to participate in block production, thereby reducing the likelihood of malicious nodes acting out and improving the stability of the VITE network.

ChainCatcher news, the lightweight EVM-compatible chain REI Network has stated on social media that it has improved the slashing mechanism, aimed at effectively addressing validator misconduct. Initially, validators could face penalties for unclear proofs or blocks, but with the latest upgrade of REI DAO, the penalty measures have also been customized.For validators causing significant damage, such as those leading to blockchain forks due to double signing, they may face slashing of up to 100% based on actual damages; for non-harmful events or validators contributing positively to the network, penalties are determined by REI holders through voting on REI DAO proposals.This adjustable approach aligns with community intentions and deters bad actors, with the adjustment of slashing targets and amounts reflecting community consensus, increasing the cost of malicious behavior, minimizing losses for innocent validators, and ensuring the stability of the REI network.
