Slashing & Ejection
Slashing in the Othentic Stack is designed to penalize malicious or faulty behavior from operators. The system executes actions such as slashing and ejection via the Attestation Center.
Overview
The Othentic Stack allows AVS developers to enforce the following penalty mechanisms:
Slashing: Deducting a percentage of allocated unique stake from misbehaving operators.
Ejection: Forcibly removing an operator from the network.
Please note:
Ejection is permanent and irreversible. Ejected operators cannot rejoin the AVS
Slashing Modules Configuration can be paused or unpaused using
SLASHING_FLOW.
AVS developers can use two penalty systems:
Slashing Modules: configurable, deterministic and pre-defined slashing conditions.
Operators use the Challenger System to submit proof of misconduct.
Custom Slashing: define and enforce arbitrary slashing logic.
It's possible to use just one of the systems, both, or neither.

Minimum Slashable Stake
Minimum Slashable Stake is the minimum amount of stake an Operator must maintain in a specific staking contract to be considered active in an AVS.
By default, the minimum slashable stake for each staking contract is 0, effectively allowing all operators with non-zero stake in a supported staking contract to participate in consensus.
Once set, this value will affect the operator registration process. If an operator attempts to register to the AVS while not meeting the minimum amount of voting power in the specific staking contract, registration will fail.
This function is only callable by the AVS_GOVERNANCE_MULTISIG role.
