🪓 Slashing-Rules | Fractional Slashing Caps to Prevent Complete Bond Eviction

[Sadeequ]

Description

Applying severe slashing penalties during brief network connectivity drops can permanently bankrupt honest validator nodes and destabilize the network.

Technical Requirements

• Refactor penalty calculation logic inside src/slashing.rs to enforce a strict fractional limit (maximum 25% of total bond capacity per incident).

• Protect node infrastructure stability while maintaining meaningful economic deterrents against malicious updates.
