Odaily Planet Daily reported that Anza proposed two measures to implement a punishment mechanism (slashing) in the network, mainly targeting so-called 'duplicate blocks' to penalize validators, which refers to the situation where the same block is created twice. Anza has not yet decided on the specific economic details of the punishment mechanism, but the author of SIMD suggested destroying (or functionally abolishing) the penalized staked tokens. Anza's Ashwin Sekar also proposed a parabolic punishment curve: if 5% of the staked tokens of a validator violate the rules, then 1% of their staked tokens will be destroyed; if 33% of the staked tokens violate, then all staked tokens will be punished. Sekar explained in a validator discussion that Ethereum's punishment curve is linear. Sekar also stated that this punishment proposal is still in its early stages, and such updates are not expected to be released until the summer of 2025 at the earliest. (blockworks)
