Slashing conditions in proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains penalize validators for malicious or negligent behavior. Common triggers include double-signing (validating conflicting blocks), downtime (missing too many blocks), or censorship. Slashing involves confiscating a portion of the validator’s staked tokens, incentivizing honest participation. This mechanism maintains network integrity by economically disincentivizing attacks, ensuring validators act in the chain’s best interest rather than pursuing short-term gains.
