According to Foresight News and reported by Blockworks, Anza, a company focused on Solana development, has proposed two proposals to implement a slashing mechanism in the Solana network, primarily targeting the so-called 'duplicate blocks' to penalize validators, which refers to the scenario where the same block is created twice. Anza has yet to decide on the specific economic details of the slashing mechanism, but the authors of SIMD suggested destroying (or functionally abolishing) the penalized staked tokens.
Anza's Ashwin Sekar also proposed a parabolic penalty curve: if 5% of the validator's staked tokens are in violation, then 1% of their staked tokens will be destroyed; and if 33% of the staked tokens are in violation, then all staked tokens will be penalized. Sekar explained in a validator discussion that Ethereum's penalty curve is linear. Sekar also stated that this penalty proposal is still in the early stages, and such updates will not be released until the summer of 2025 at the earliest.
