Execution Details and Timing of Slashing

• Slashing for Double Signing: Once the system detects double signing behavior, the slashing operation will be triggered immediately, and a certain percentage (e.g., 5%-10%) of the staked tokens will be slashed. The node will also be temporarily removed from the validator rotation and suspended from consensus participation. Such actions will be quickly recorded and processed by the system.

• Slashing for Downtime: If a node remains offline for an extended period without participating in block validation, the system will first issue a warning. If the node does not recover within the specified tolerance period (e.g., 48 hours), a portion of its staked tokens will be slashed. The slashing percentage will be determined based on the node's online duration and the overall network stability.

• Slashing for Protocol Violations: The slashing for protocol violations will typically be determined by the severity of the violation. Minor violations may result in a small slashing percentage (e.g., 1%-2%), while severe violations could lead to up to 50% of the staked tokens being slashed, and the node may even have its validator status suspended.
