PANews December 13 news, according to official sources, the Ethereum restaking protocol EigenLayer has released its second improvement proposal (ELIP-002): the punishment mechanism (Slashing). This ELIP proposal introduces a punishment mechanism (Slashing) to the EigenLayer protocol to enhance the commitment of the crypto economy and provide tools for AVS (Active Validation Services) to innovate and reward high-quality service operators.

The punishment mechanism designed in the proposal integrates two new concepts proposed by Eigen Labs: Unique Stake and Operator Sets, allowing AVS to punish operators who fail to fulfill commitments (such as computational errors or inactivity issues). Unique Stake ensures that each AVS exclusively holds specific punishable stakes, reducing systemic risk. Operator Sets allow AVS to segment tasks and operators for better accountability mechanisms and reward distribution.
