Key benefits include: - Enhanced service reliability with slashing-backed guarantees - Operator control over risk profiles - Transparent risk/reward data for stakers - Improved validator services **Important for Renzo users**: No immediate action required. While slashing is enabled at protocol level, no Renzo Operators have opted in yet. Security audits by Halborn and Nethermind ensure continued safe operation.
