Validators & consensus

SLASH

Burn a validator's bond for equivocation.

SLASH submits a permissionless equivocation proof that burns a validator's entire capability bond when they signed two conflicting values for the same consensus slot. Because capability bonds live only on Bitcoin, SLASH is a Bitcoin-chain action.

What you can do with it

  • Punish double-signing with an on-chain, math-checked proof anyone can submit.
  • Burn the offender's whole bond, active stake and cooling-down stake alike.
  • Earn a bounty for catching equivocation, keeping the validator set honest.
