Do AVS upgrades increase temporary correlation? Yes, AVS coordinated upgrades create a period of significantly elevated temporary correlation. During an upgrade, a large portion of the network's operators migrate to a new, common version of the client software. This creates a temporary homogeneity where a latent bug in the new release is now present across a critical mass of the system. If this bug is slashable, it can trigger a mass event. This risk is amplified by the "rush to upgrade" phenomenon, where operators deploy the new code simultaneously to avoid being penalized for running an outdated version. This synchronization effect creates a dangerous window where the system is most vulnerable to a previously unknown vulnerability, making post-upgrade periods a high-risk interval for correlated failures.
