Are gas-limit proposals able to hamper connectivity and trigger slashes? This is a highly sophisticated attack vector. A malicious governance proposal could artificially lower the gas limit on a chain-specific AVS, intentionally creating a congested environment. In this congested state, honest operators might be unable to submit their required attestations or proofs within the mandated time window due to high fee competition, leading to widespread liveness failures and subsequent slashing. This would be a deliberate denial-of-service attack orchestrated through governance, exploiting the operational requirements of the network to financially penalize its validators. It highlights how seemingly benign parameters can be weaponized.
