What are the primary causes of false‑positive slashings? The primary causes of false-positive slashing stem from discrepancies between intended protocol rules and on-chain execution reality. Key causes include: 1. Software Client Bugs: A non-malicious bug in an AVS's operator client software could cause it to incorrectly sign or broadcast a slashing offense. 2. Misconfiguration or Network Issues: An operator with incorrect system time (clock skew) or suffering from severe network partitioning might appear to be offline or double-signing from the network's perspective. 3. Unforeseen Chain Reorganizations: Deep reorgs on underlying layers (like Ethereum) could cause an AVS's view of state to become temporarily inconsistent, triggering a slashing condition for operators acting on what was, moments before, the canonical chain.
