Do governance attacks pose higher systemic risk than operator errors? Governance attacks pose a categorically higher systemic risk than individual operator errors. An operator error is typically isolated, affecting one entity. A governance attack, if successful, can simultaneously impact every single operator in the system. It can change the fundamental rules of the game for everyone, leading to correlated slashing on a massive scale. While operator errors are a constant, manageable background risk, a governance attack is a existential threat that can collapse the entire cryptoeconomic security model in a single, coordinated event. The defense against it must be proportionally robust.
