It blows my mind that Solana still does not have slashing enabled.That partly explains why it is technically still in Beta.Tbh, I love it and was glad the proposal to cut SOL inflation failed.That makes LSTs close to a risk free 7% APY.Looping on Juplend takes this further with 22 percent APY at 12.43x leverage.Risky, but without slashing Juplend and Kamino can hard code LST oracle pricing.Small wicks do not liquidate you, though smart contract risk remains.This is effectively a tax on naked SOL holders, ju ...

RT Sreeram Kannan (@sreeramkannan)Debunking economic security myths.Self-enforcing vs committee chains (Libra?).Myth 1) Economic security is a meme because "delegation" implies we anyway only have a non-staked committee and thus no security. But delegation in the presence of slashing means - you chose your operator carefully - otherwise you will get slashed. So in fact the reasoning is totally misplaced.Myth 2) Economic security is a meme because forking can solve all problems. Forking a blockchain takes ti ...

Staking & Economic Security - Staking yields should be low due to rare or non-existent slashing, as high interest for risk-free activities with slight liquidity disruptions is illogical [1] - The industry should be cautious about dismissing economic security, as increasing value on chains elevates attack incentives, and relying on social layers can lead to destructive politics [2] - Crypto-economic security aims to replace human interaction with enforced protocol rules; validators fearing slashing behave differently [3] - If a native coin isn't needed for security, it has little value, highlighting the link between coin value, incentives, and security [4] Tokenomics & Protocol Design - If security doesn't rely on incentives, the coin's value is questionable; equity issuance and stablecoin fees become viable alternatives [5] - More experimentation with slashing is needed in protocol design, balancing risk with worthwhile rewards [5] - A PoS chain with more slashing and higher inflation offers a sophisticated way to incentivize validators towards desirable outcomes, benefiting DeFi with risk-adjusted yield options [6]
