According to BlockBeats, Ethereum's restaking protocol EigenLayer has announced that its slashing mechanism will be launched on the mainnet on April 17. This update will enable Active Verification Services (AVS) to develop verifiable and trustless applications. Additionally, operators and stakers will be held accountable for their actions.
Slashing is a method used in Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols to economically penalize a node or group of nodes for executing strategies that deviate from the specified protocol guidelines.
