📉 Slashing Conditions & Penalties
⚠️ Double Signing: A Serious Offense
Double signing occurs when a validator signs two conflicting blocks at the same block height. This is considered the most severe violation in the network.
Consequences of Double Signing:
🚫 Permanent loss of validator reputation — trust from the community is severely damaged
💸 Loss of stake — both the validator’s and their delegators’ coins are slashed as a penalty
⚠️ Community distrust — undermines confidence in the validator and the network’s security
Double signing is treated very seriously to protect the network’s integrity and maintain trust in its validators.
