How will epoch boundary changes affect slash risk? Epoch boundaries are critical moments where validator duties are reassigned. Changes to the epoch logic or timing can concentrate risk. A poorly executed change could cause mass confusion, leading to missed attestations or even double-signing as validators struggle to sync with the new schedule. To mitigate this, epoch boundary changes must be communicated far in advance, implemented with long timelocks, and designed to be backward-compatible during a transition period. The risk is not the change itself, but the potential for a correlated failure across the validator set if the transition is not perfectly smooth.
