What’s the correlation coefficient of slashes between AVS types?
The correlation coefficient of slashing events between different AVS types is a vital measure of systemic risk, but it is not yet a known, published statistic. The ideal coefficient is close to zero, indicating that slashing on one AVS (e.g., a data availability layer) is independent of slashing on another (e.g., a bridge). A high positive correlation would be alarming, suggesting a common root cause—such as a global internet outage, a bug in a shared underlying library, or a problem with the EigenLayer core contracts—that can cascade through the entire ecosystem. Measuring this coefficient will be a key function of network health dashboards and will directly influence how insurers and operators model and price risk across their portfolio of services.
