What safeguards prevent governance-induced slashes?
Key safeguards include timelocks on parameter changes, multi-signature or quorum voting requirements, and mandatory pre-upgrade testing on testnets or sandbox environments. Many AVSs implement staging periods where changes announced by governance cannot take immediate effect, allowing validators to prepare. Automated simulations run against proposed parameter changes help detect slashing risks before deployment. Additionally, governance often incorporates emergency pause functions and rollback mechanisms to quickly revert problematic upgrades. Transparent communication channels and detailed upgrade documentation also ensure operator readiness, collectively reducing governance-driven slashing risks.
