In Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks like Ethereum, Cosmos, and Polkadot, slashing penalizes validators for misbehavior, burning a portion of staked tokens (e.g., up to 1 ETH in Ethereum). Key conditions: double-signing conflicting blocks (5-100% loss), prolonged downtime/offline status (0.01-1% per incident), or equivocation. Delegators may share losses; avoid by choosing reliable validators and monitoring. Not all chains have slashing (e.g., some non-PoS).
