How might zk rollups impact restaking and slashing correlations?
zk-Rollups could significantly reduce certain types of slashing correlations by minimizing the shared computational burden. In a traditional optimistic rollup, AVSs might be needed to verify fraud proofs, a complex task with shared logic. In a zk-Rollup world, the primary job of an AVS could shift to verifying succinct validity proofs. This is a more binary and mathematically verifiable task, potentially reducing the "bug surface area" that leads to correlated slashing across different implementations. However, it concentrates risk on the proof verification logic itself. A flaw in a widely-used zk library or prover could still cause a correlated failure, but the overall design points towards a cleaner separation of duties and lower correlation risk.
