Can centralized governance actors be bribed to cause slashing? Yes, centralized governance actors—such as multisig signers, council members, or foundation delegates—can be bribed to approve malicious proposals that lead to slashing. If governance is concentrated and lacks transparency or rotation, attackers may offer off-chain incentives to push changes like slashing logic alterations, validator set tweaks, or liveness constraint tightening. This is especially dangerous in systems where a few actors control critical upgrade paths. Mitigation includes decentralized decision-making, on-chain accountability, signatory diversity, and formal disclosure frameworks. Where feasible, AVSs should move toward permissionless or DAO-style governance to dilute bribery risk.
