EigenLayer has published its second EigenLayer Improvement Proposal (ELIP-002) on its social platform: Slashing Mechanism.
1. Slashing Mechanism: The ELIP-002 proposal introduces a slashing mechanism to the EigenLayer protocol, aimed at enhancing crypto-economic commitments and providing tools for AVS (Active Verification Services) to innovate and reward high-quality service operators.
2. Unique Stake: The slashing mechanism designed in the proposal incorporates a new concept proposed by EigenLabs, namely Unique Stake. This concept ensures that each AVS has exclusive access to a specific punishable stake, thereby reducing systemic risk.
3. Operator Sets: Another new concept is Operator Sets, which allows AVS to segment tasks and operators for better accountability mechanisms and reward distribution.
4. Punishing Operators for Unfulfilled Commitments: This mechanism enables AVS to penalize operators who fail to fulfill commitments (such as computational errors or activity issues).
