EigenLayer Introduces Slashing Mechanism for Restaking
EigenLayer Introduces Slashing Mechanism for Restaking
馃敀 Slashing Comes to EigenLayer
EigenLayer is implementing a slashing mechanism for its restaking protocol. Key updates:
- No immediate slashing risk for eETH users; explicit opt-in required
- Implementation includes:
- Deep-dive risk analysis for each AVS
- 14-day community review period
- Advance notice through multiple channels
Slashing mechanics:
- Not automatic
- Risk isolated to individual operator stakes
- AVS-specific slashing logic
- Careful operator monitoring
Chaos Labs is conducting security analysis to enhance risk controls.
Restaking is maturing and slashing is coming to @eigenlayer soon! Congrats to the Eigen team on reaching this milestone, a few updates on how that impacts ether.fi users: 1/ There is no slashing risk for eETH today. ether.fi must explicitly opt in
