Do AVSs that auto-update have fewer slashes?
Automatic updates are a double-edged sword. In theory, they can reduce slashes by ensuring operators are always running patched versions with known bug fixes. However, they introduce a critical risk: a bug in the update itself is automatically deployed to the entire network simultaneously, potentially causing a correlated mass slashing event. A more robust approach is a staged rollout. The update is made available, and a small set of trusted, volunteer operators upgrade first. After a successful observation period on this canary network, the broader operator set is notified and encouraged to upgrade. This balances the benefit of rapid patching with the paramount need to avoid systemic, correlated failures.
