EigenLayer Slashing Mechanism Arrives on Mainnet

Ethereum’s EigenLayer, the restaking protocol responsible for facilitating more efficient staking, will launch its slashing mechanism on April 17th, marking a significant step towards enabling secure and trustless applications. This update will allow Active Verification Services (AVS) to develop verifiable solutions, giving them greater autonomy in crafting their own trusted systems. At the same time, operators and stakers will be held accountable for their actions through this mechanism.
