🛑 If I could enforce one Web3 penalty, it’d be automatic staking slashes for founders or teams that rug within a defined time window — say, 90 days post-launch.

💡 Why This Penalty Works:
When teams launch a token, they’d be required to stake a portion of it or an equivalent value in escrow. If they pull liquidity, disable trading, or abandon the project within the early phase:

That stake is automatically slashed

Funds are reallocated to affected holders or burned

⚖️ Why It’s Fair:
Incentivizes accountability: Founders have real skin in the game.

Fully on-chain: Uses transparent, rules-based logic.

Prevents hit-and-run scams while rewarding long-term builders.

TL;DR: Early-phase token slashing makes “launch and leave” playbooks too costly to fake. In Web3, trust should be enforced by code — not promises.

This proposed penalty for Web3 projects adds a layer of accountability and discourages quick exits. By automatically slashing stakes for rug pulls, it promotes trust and long-term commitment. Transparency and fairness are key in building sustainable decentralized ecosystems. Trust in code, not just promises, is the way forward in Web3.
