According to Foresight News and reported by Blockworks, the R&D company Anza, focused on Solana, has proposed two initiatives to implement a slashing mechanism in the Solana network, primarily targeting penalties for so-called 'duplicate blocks', which refer to cases where the same block is created twice. Anza has not yet decided on the specific economic details of the slashing mechanism, but the authors of SIMD suggest destroying (or functionally abolishing) the penalized staked tokens.
Ashwin Sekar from Anza 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; 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.
