According to news on December 13, EigenLayer released the second EigenLayer improvement proposal (ELIP-002) on the social platform: punishment mechanism (Slashing). This ELIP proposal introduces a penalty mechanism (Slashing) to the EigenLayer protocol to enhance cryptoeconomic commitments and provide AVS (Active Verification Service) with tools to innovate and reward high-quality service operators.
The penalty mechanism design in the proposal incorporates two new concepts proposed by EigenLabs: Unique Stake and Operator Sets, allowing AVS to punish operators who fail to fulfill their commitments (such as calculation errors or liveness issues) carry out punishment. Unique staking ensures that each AVS has exclusive access to specific penalties.
