What safeguards prevent governance‑induced slashes?
Robust safeguards are essential to prevent governance from becoming a weapon. These include:
Timelocks: A mandatory delay between a proposal's passage and its execution, giving operators time to react or exit.
Immutable Core Slashing Conditions: Designing the most critical slashing logic to be unchangeable via governance.
High Passage Thresholds: Requiring a supermajority (e.g., 67%+) for any proposal that modifies slashing parameters.
Separation of Powers: Distinguishing between parameter changes (governance) and slashing execution (automated, objective code).
Circuit Breakers: Mechanisms that can temporarily halt slashing execution if a governance attack is detected.
