Have any slash events coincided with contentious governance votes?
In the nascent AVS ecosystem, there is no publicly documented case of a slash event directly coinciding with a contentious governance vote. This specific risk remains theoretical but is a major point of concern discussed by security researchers. The fear is that a highly contentious vote—for example, one that proposes a significant change to fee distribution or slashing penalties—could so divide the community that it leads to a chain split. If a faction of operators continues to run the old software while another faction upgrades, it could result in the two groups finalizing conflicting states, leading to a catastrophic safety failure and mass slashing for equivocation.
