Can asynchronous execution across AVSs reduce the likelihood of cross-protocol slashing cascades? Yes, asynchronous execution is a powerful architectural defense. If AVSs operate on independent, non-synchronized clocks and block finality is not globally simultaneous, a failure in one AVS is less likely to create a "traffic jam" that blocks others. This desynchronization prevents a technical fault from becoming a system-wide liveness event. For example, if AVS A halts due to a bug, AVSs B and C, on their own execution schedules, can continue operating. This isolates the failure domain, containing the potential slashing to a single service and preventing the technical cascade that could occur if all AVS duties were required to be performed in a strict, synchronous lockstep across the entire validator set.
