Is adoption of slashing protection above 50 %?
It is almost certainly above 50% among operators with meaningful stakes. The consequences of not using slashing protection—a high risk of total loss from a simple software glitch or misstep—are so severe that it becomes a non-negotiable part of the operational checklist for professional entities. Large staking pools and institutional operators would never run without it. The sub-50% cohort likely consists of very small, experimental, or novice operators who are either unaware of the risk or are staking amounts they consider "test" value. Therefore, for the ecosystem's economically significant security, the effective adoption rate is well over 50%, and it trends towards 100% as operators mature and scale.
