Are margin requirements tied to slashing probability?
In a rationally designed system, they should be, but this is a complex integration. A lending protocol could, in theory, adjust margin requirements (liquidation thresholds) not just based on collateral price volatility, but also on the implied slashing probability of the underlying restaked position. This probability could be inferred from insurance premiums or on-chain slashing history. An operator restaking to a high-risk, novel AVS would face a higher margin requirement than one restaking to a battle-tested data availability layer. This would create a risk-based pricing model for leverage, aligning the cost of borrowing with the true underlying risk of the activity, and discouraging excessive risk-taking
