Is there a timelock on governance ops to prevent slash-causing changes?
A timelock is the single most important and widely adopted safeguard against governance-induced slashing. It is a mandatory delay (e.g., 3-7 days) between when a governance proposal is approved and when it is executed on-chain. This provides a critical window for operators and the community to:
Analyze the full code of the enacted change.
Identify any potential slashing risks.
If necessary, voluntarily exit their validator to avoid being caught in a malicious or buggy change.
A lack of a timelock is a major red flag for any AVS, as it allows for instantaneous and unstoppable changes to the rules of the system.
