[AshwinSekar]

This discussion page serves as an avenue and roadmap to discuss implementing slashing in the solana protocol.

Current proposals

#180 Leader schedule migration

• Populates leader schedule via vote accounts rather than node id, prerequesite for SIMD-0212

#204 Slashable event verification

• This provides an on chain mechanism to report and record violations
• Currently only supports duplicate block violations, future SIMDs will add voting violations

#212 Slashing

• Implementation of slashing via burning delegations and rewards
