Info about Slashing #459

Closed soltrac closed 1 year ago

soltrac commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I would like to have more info about slashing reasons for validators.

Some validator (I'm not going to post its ID) is creating events with txs that a not modified validator would create. I have not FTMs enough in testnet to create a validator and prove this theory, but I'm pretty sure about that because I'm checking all events created by this validator.

Should this action create a slash? I understand that not, but if not, apart of double signing, what actions are slashable?

Slashing applies to validators with malicious activities, such as double signing and multiple instance run. For other kinds of activities, it will depend on the severity and thus appropriate penalty / slashing will be applied.

Nodes are supposed to run unmodified latest official release. Nodes running unmodified opera version do so at their own risk.
